Dark Souls Remastered Has Carried The Original Game’s Torch For 5 Years

The era of Elden Ring is upon FromSoftware fans, and Armored Core is about to return. However, the games that brought the company to this time of prosperity are still fresh in many players’ minds. While Demon’s Souls codified the Soulslike format and refined elements from FromSoftware’s past, it was Dark Souls that gave its action-RPG subgenre mainstream attention. Dark Souls evolved with every new game, and the advances of related titles like Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice sprang forth from its original formula. At the core of Elden Ring’s even greater success, one can still find elements that first caught players’ attention all the way back in Dark Souls 1.
