For years,Bloodbornefans have hopedfor a remaster or PC port of their beloved gothic masterpiece. But these hopes have been met with nothing but disappointment as Sony continues to seemingly ignore these demands. And to add salt to the wound, there’s been a new leak suggesting thatDark Souls 3is getting a new Remaster.
This alleged project has already started discussions online, and would you believe it?Bloodbornefans aren’t happy. This new information came from insider Nick Baker on the XboxEra podcast. With the recent trend in remakes and remasters, this isn’t entirely suspicious.
BloodborneFans Continue to Be the Punchline for a Joke That’s Gone Too Far
Released in 2016,Dark Souls 3is a cornerstone of theSoulsfranchise with over 10 million units sold. The game already runs at 60fps on modern consoles but at the cost of resolution, which is capped at 1080p. A remaster would probably include higher resolutions and improved textures, much like theDemon’s Soulsremake.
But fans are still divided as they question whether a remaster is necessary for a game still considered visually and mechanically sound.Bloodbornefans have waited patiently for years to getan update or a PC port. Many argue that the gothic horror masterpiece needs no remaster, only a patch to address its locked 30fps on modern consoles.

But even then, no announcements have been made. This has led to frustration within the community. How is it even possible for so many fans to get ignored over the amount of time that’s passed? This is quite a departure from the repeated remastering of other FromSoft titles, such as the originalDark SoulsandDark Souls 2.
Over on Reddit, reactions to therumoredremaster have been mixed. Some fans welcome the possibility, seeing it as an opportunity to improve the already good game. Some fans think that it doesn’t need a remaster as it still holds up well.
And of course, the most commonly brought up thing is howBloodbornecontinues to be ignored. As one comment says, “Dark Souls 3 remaster before Bloodborne? We’re living in a Dark Souls loop.”
Yes aDS3Remaster is Cool, But It’s Not What Fans Want
The timing of this leak also raises eyebrows.FromSoft has been on a rollwith massive successes likeElden Ringand itsShadow of The ErdtreeDLC. RevisitingDS3is a safe financial bet, leveraging its popularity for a new generation of players is an easy formula for success.
Still, there’s a historical precedent for FromSoftware revisiting their catalog. BothDark SoulsandDark Souls 2were remastered with new versions that brought upgrades but also got people thinking of the necessity.
The pattern suggests that aDS3remaster was inevitable, especially given the current industry trend of remastering and remaking older titles.

For now, the rumoredDS3remaster remains unconfirmed, with no release date or official announcement. With The Game Awards merely a few weeks away, we could see an announcement very soon during the event. If it is really though, we’ll be looking at a lot of upset fans.
But it’s probably true given FromSoft’s track record. As one commenter joked, “You can tell this might actually be true because it doesn’t say it’s Bloodborne.”
Would you still play a remaster ofDS3if it actually came out? Let us know your thoughts!
