• Demon's Souls Digital Deluxe Edition on PS5 brings you better weapons and armor, for a price

The highly anticipated remake of 2009's Demon's Souls for PS5 is coming up, and PlayStation has just announced a digital deluxe edition to make its terrifying medieval world a little more manageable. But it will cost you. For a steep price of €89.99 / £89.99, compared to the standard edition game price of €69.99 / €69.99, players will have access to a host of items that are sure to bring a profit. , including additional weapons (to attack), armor (to stay alive), souls (basically in-game currency), and other specialized items (shards, grains, etc.) that will be available throughout the game. Souls games are notoriously complicated, so the extra help might be welcome for some PS5 owners. PlayStation specifically updated its previous blog post on the game, where it revealed a first look at the gameplay, and you can check out the full list below.

• Legendary Hero Soul
• Renowned warrior soul
• Historical warrior soul
• Red Eyes Knight Armor
• Boletarian royalty armor
• Ritual blade
• Hoplite shield
• Longevity ring
• Conservation grains
• Phosphorescent grains
• Bearbug grains
• Great Hard Stone Shard
• Moonstone Fragment

Several of these appear in the game for the first time, meaning they weren't available for use in the original 2009 title. Any player who pre-orders any of the editions before November 12 will also have access to the powerful Reaper. Scythe, which was wielded by an enemy in the first game but not available to players until now. For a game known for its difficulty, we're thankful for the mercy of PlayStation.

When the price is right

Of course, neither of the standard and deluxe editions come cheap, and it's going to be a hefty expense alongside a new PS5 console (£499 / £449 / AU$749). The discless version of the console will only set you back $399 / £369 / AU$599, though if you want to make that purchase a bit easier to stomach, you might want to consider signing up for PS Plus. PS Plus subscribers get a huge number of PS4 games for free during the PS5 launch month, and this will be the best way to get you titles to play without shelling out hundreds of flagship PS5 games right away.
