Demon's Souls fans know all too well the struggles of attempting to create anything other than a weirdly misshapen humanoid lump of a protagonist in the game's distinctly no-frill characters creator - but a new look at developer Bluepoint's PS5 remake has revealed the days of endless Dead-eyed McRubberfaces will soon be no more.
While Demon's Souls medieval-inspired aesthetic inevitably means there are plenty of times player characters will be entirely ensconced in heavy armour, there are enough less-all-consuming equipment and armour options that a decent character creator does make a lot of sense. And Bluepoint's offering in the Demon's Souls remake is said to be flexible enough to allow for 16 million character permutations.
"We've added many more customisation options than you'll remember from the PS3 game, and also worked hard to ensure there is a satisfying variety possible for those who wish to tinker with every slider," it explains in a new PlayStation blog post. "With the number of total synchronous online players in an instance increased to six, standing out will mean so much more."
