The internet is abuzz with the “news” that a Dark Souls Trilogy Remake is in the works, and by “news”, I mean some guy on X (formerly Twitter) said so 📱. Shirrako, a gaming YouTuber with a whopping 2.5 million subscribers, posted a whopping two-sentence update that has sent the Soulslike fanbase into a frenzy 🤯. Because, you know, that’s all it takes to confirm a multi-million dollar remake project 🤑. I mean, who needs actual confirmation from the developers or publishers when you have a “reputable source from my mirror” 🪞?
So, let’s take a step back and look at the “evidence” 🕵️♀️. Shirrako’s post has nearly one million views, almost a thousand reposts, and multiple articles written about it 📰. Wow, that’s some impressive clickbait 🎣. And the best part? Shirrako’s follow-up post was a simple “I love the internet” 🙄, which is just a nice way of saying “I’m trolling you all” 😜.
Now, let’s consider the actual possibility of a Dark Souls Trilogy Remake 🤔. Yes, the franchise is massively successful, and Bandai Namco would probably make a pretty penny if they remade the trilogy 💸. But who would develop it? FromSoftware is busy working on their Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods 🎮, and Bluepoint Games, the studio behind the Demon’s Souls remake, was shut down by Sony 🚫. Maybe they’ll just outsource it to some poor souls (pun intended) who have to deal with the toxicity of the Dark Souls community 💔.
And then there’s the elephant in the room: Bloodborne 🦌. Fans have been begging for a port or remake for years, and with an animated adaptation on the way 🎬, it seems like there’s more of a chance for a new Bloodborne title than a Dark Souls remake 🤷♀️. But hey, who knows? Maybe we’ll get a Dark Souls Trilogy Remake, and it’ll be a watered-down, casual-friendly version that ruins the souls of the original games 💀.
So, to all the Soulslike fans out there, keep on keeping on 🙌. Maybe if you make enough noise, someone will finally listen and give you the remake you so desperately want 🎧. Just don’t hold your breath, and try not to get too salty when it doesn’t happen 😂. After all, as the great philosopher, Shirrako, once said, “I love the internet” 🙄. 🤣
