A Dark Souls 3 remaster is reportedly in the works, according to a recent leak from the XboxEra podcast. While the information comes from an insider, it remains a rumour until an official confirmation from FromSoftware or their publishing partner.
Nick "Shpeshal_Nick" Baker, during a recent XboxEra podcast, hinted at a remaster project. However, he was unable to disclose further details, including the developers, potential improvements, or specific target platforms. This lack of detail prompts cautious optimism.
A possible explanation for the project is the established pattern of remastering FromSoftware games. The first two Dark Souls games received remasters, and a potential remaster of Dark Souls 3, while perhaps not as urgent given the original's relatively recent release, could include enhanced visuals and improved platform support, potentially including release on the successor to the Nintendo Switch.
While Shpeshal_Nick has a somewhat credible track record, it's always crucial to approach such leaks with a degree of skepticism. Until official confirmation arrives, the project should be treated as a potential possibility, rather than a certainty.
The original Dark Souls 3 is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
