Dark Souls Remastered is an upgraded version of Dark Souls that will be released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One on May 25th, 2018. On October 19th, 2018, it was launched on the Nintendo Switch. The game has been upgraded to include graphics improvements as well as an expanded online option.

The remaster has improved graphics and framerate over the original. The original level design is "unchanged" in the remaster. There are a few minor tweaks, such as the Dried Finger's new location and a new campfire near Blacksmith Vamos, as well as the ability to trade Covenants at your bonfire.

Online play has been updated to support up to 6 online players and password matchmaking has been added.

Dark Souls is an action role-playing game that takes place in the third person. Exploration is a key component of the game. Players should proceed with caution, learn from their mistakes, and seek out new regions to investigate. Dark Souls is set in a big and continuous open-world landscape with a central hub region connecting it all. The player character can freely move between places and explore different paths, while certain areas require certain conditions to be unlocked.

The bonfire is an important part of Dark Souls' gameplay. Bonfires can be found all around the world, and they act as checkpoints for each level. Resting near a campfire heals the player character to full health and restores all of their "Estus Flask" healing charges. They can also level up and do other tasks such as magic tuning and equipment maintenance and upgrade. Except for bosses, mini-bosses, and friendly non-playable NPCs, resting at a campfire respawn all of the world's foes.

Dark Souls involves a lot of battle in the player character's interactions with the world. Melee strikes, various forms of defensive maneuvering, and magical abilities are all used in combat. Player characters can use a variety of high fantasy, medieval-style equipment for physical strikes, including swords, spears, maces, and fanciful weaponry like magical swords, massive greatswords, and enormous clubs. Shields, armour, evading, and parrying are available to player characters for defense. Player characters do not use any sort of mana for magic, which includes a vast array of offensive and defensive skills known as sorceries, miracles, and pyromancies.

Dark Souls is a game that has remained impressively constant over time. Years after a cabal of gods teamed up to battle a horde of ancient dragons, the game's world has fallen into disarray. Entropy consumes everything, turning the earth into a sea of corpses and mindless monsters. Despite their losses, the player keeps going, battling each new boss again and again. Dark Souls is, at its core, a game about what we do when we know we're going to die. Do we put up a fight to keep things moving forward? Do we accept the impending darkness? The moodiness of the game stems from sad, resonating questions. The existence of a remastered Dark Souls provides answers to these problems by adamantly refusing to give up.
