It's one of FromSoftware's best games and could return remastered: Dark Souls III might come back with improvements, according to an insider

In recent years, FromSoftware has amazed us with true gems like ELDEN RING and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. However, we all know the studio reached its prestigious position thanks to Dark Souls, an acclaimed franchise that many want to see return.

That dream may come true for some players, as a well-known insider revealed that one of the best games in the series is supposedly coming back remastered. According to the details, a new version of Dark Souls III is already in development, though for now, it’s just a rumor.

Is a Dark Souls III remaster in the works?

Dark Souls III debuted in 2016 and quickly became a fan-favorite entry in the series. The title was praised by critics and players alike, making it one of FromSoftware’s best games.

Eight years have passed since its release, and the idea of a remaster hasn’t crossed many players' minds, as the game has held up well. However, reports suggest that FromSoftware might think otherwise.

During the XboxEra podcast (via Wccftech), insider Nick "Shpeshal_Nick" Baker revealed that a Dark Souls III remaster is currently in development. Unfortunately, he didn’t provide further details.

With that said, we don’t know the rumored project’s development stage, who is in charge, or what improvements it would bring over the original version we know. It’s essential to remember this is just a rumor, as FromSoftware has not confirmed a re-release of its popular title.

Should you believe the rumor about a new version of Dark Souls III?

Nick Baker is well-known for his intriguing leaks. Some of them have been confirmed over time; however, he isn’t infallible, and his reports have occasionally lacked the accuracy we’d hope for.

On the other hand, FromSoftware isn’t new to re-releases, and Dark Souls has had several over the years. The first game received a remaster, while Dark Souls also got a definitive version with technical and graphical improvements.

So, the idea of a Dark Souls III remaster isn’t far-fetched, especially considering the time that has passed since its release. However, we emphasize that this remains an unconfirmed rumor.
