Sony is reportedly cooking up a Demon'southward Souls movie based on the cult classic From Software game. This should not exist dislocated with the Dark Souls serial, which was a spiritual successor to 2009's Demon's Souls on PS3.

The report comes via Giant Freakin Robot, which cites a "trusted inside source." Details are scant, and the outlet doesn't brand information technology clear if the film will follow the aforementioned plot as its video game counterpart. Demon's Souls has players on a mission to defeat an ancient demon dubbed the Sometime One, which was roused from its slumber past Boletaria's King Allant.

Sony owns the Demon's Souls IP, as well as the more than contempo Bloodborne. The iconic title got a contempo remake for PS5, and now it looks like Sony is putting the IP to good use. Video game TV and film adaptations have been terrible, historically speaking, but that'south starting to change.

Video games have been getting increased movie and television set attention in the past few years. Netflix's The Witcher serial was hugely popular — so much and then that The Witcher flavor 2 is in the works. HBO is busy beavering abroad on The Last of U.s.a. TV show. An Amazon Prime Fallout series is on the horizon also. And permit's not forget about Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, an upcoming anime based on CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077.

Sony's take on Demon'south Souls is going to interesting, with the IP offering considerable gratuitous rein when it comes to re-envisioning it through the medium of film. Of course, none of this is confirmed, and the only tidbit we have is that a Demon's Souls pic is coming.

When it comes to the bandage and plot, it'southward anyone's guess how Sony will decide to handle it. Perhaps a series would've been a better selection, considering how successful the format seems to be for these adaptations, simply Sony could surprise u.s. however.
