Demon's Souls on PS5's Character Creator and Photo Mode Revealed

The character creator and photo mode have been revealed for PS5 launch title Demon's Souls, and it will allow players to customize their appearance with up to 16 million permutations. As revealed on PlayStation.Blog, the team behind Demon's Souls has added many more options to create your character than were featured in the PS3 original and is ensuring that there is "satisfying variety possible for those who wish to tinker with every slider." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=demons-souls-ps5-character-creator-screenshots&captions=true"] Considering that Demon's Souls also has both seamlessly integrated synchronous and asynchronous multiplayer elements, it was important for the team to give players the power to craft the avatar they wished to show off. With the total number of synchronous online players in an instance being increased to six, this was even more of a priority so players could truly stand out. With all these options to customize your character, it would be a shame to not be able to show it off, and Sony and Bluepoint Games have added a photo mode to Demon's Souls on PS5 to help do just that. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=demons-souls-ps5-photo-mode-screenshots&captions=true"] Players will be able to hide and show weapons and helmets, remove their character from a scene for a striking landscape shot, strike a pose or change expressions for the "ultimate selfie," and change camera settings like zoom, film grain, and even blur out their friends. Outside of Photo Mode, players will be able to utilize the filters to change how the game looks, including "one designed to tune brightness, contrast and color levels to closely resemble those of the original PS3 game, for those who may prefer that classic look." Demon's Souls will be released alongside the PlayStation 5 on November 12, 2020, and brings the 2009 PS3 title forward to a new generation.
