Dark Souls Is Getting The Next-Gen Remaster We’ve Dreamed Of

by

At this point, Dark Souls is a hugely influential game. While Demon’s Souls originally started the trend, Dark Souls truly established the series’ signature style and inspired many similar games. Some players are happy with the original version or its updated remaster, but many others have been hoping for a complete remake.

A new remaster is getting a lot of attention on YouTube, with fans amazed by how good it looks.

This Unofficial Dark Souls Remaster Is Stunning

It’s Worth Another Playthrough

The Dark Souls RTX Remix is coming along well, and a preview clip was shown this week. It highlighted areas like the Undead Burg and Anor Londo, with the detail in Anor Londo particularly standing out. Fans are hoping the developers avoid adding too much fog, a common issue in other RTX Remix projects.

I just wanted to give a huge shout-out to the people who made this possible! Gabdeg wanted me to say this was built using E-Man’s awesome Vibe Reverse Engineering toolset, and a big thanks goes to Kim for their help too. It’s all based on xoxor4d’s work on making Remix compatibility mods, which was super important. And CR did all the work on the sky – it looks amazing! Seriously, none of this would have happened without these talented people and all their effort!

Some viewers have pointed out a problem with making the game look more realistic. One comment explained that the original designs included intentional lighting, so adding realistic lighting works well outside, but makes indoor areas too dark to see anything. Fixing this would require adding light sources like torches, but that would mean changing the game’s architecture and how things work, ultimately altering the original level design.

Even though some players aren’t happy with how this remaster looks, the good news is it’s not required. It’s a mod for the PC version of Dark Souls: Remastered, so you can easily avoid it if you prefer. Plus, you can still find the original versions of the game on some platforms.

We Can Wait

The team working on the Dark Souls RTX Remix is making good progress, but a release date is still uncertain. They’re currently working through a significant number of bugs and want to ensure the game is stable before making it available to the public. One of the developers said they’ll release a version as soon as it’s more polished and major visual issues, like flickering in the user interface, are resolved.

Man, the Dark Souls modding scene is still absolutely thriving! People are constantly creating new stuff – everything from adding whole new areas and bosses to just tweaking the existing game. It’s wild how popular it still is to mess around with, and honestly, I bet people will be modding Dark Souls for years and years to come. It’s a game that just keeps on giving.

There’s also a possibility of a remastered version of the original Dark Souls being released in the future, or perhaps an upgrade for modern consoles. However, most fans are hoping to see a resolution for Bloodborne first.
