WhileDemon’s Soulson PlayStation 5 is a gorgeous game that seemingly makes use of the platform’s full power, some fans have been holding out hope for a PS4 version. As such, the discovery of a potential port in the PS4 database has seenDemon’s Soulsplayers reaching a new level of hype, though an insider has explained why this likely means nothing.

With big games like the nextGod of Warbeing cross-gen, as well asHorizon Forbidden WestandSpider-Man: Miles Morales, it is easy to see why fans have had some confidence in this new leak. Still, with games likeRatchet and Clank: Rift ApartandReturnalbeing fully exclusive to PS5, there is just as much evidence against a last-gen port as well. Adding to the side of doubt, reputable leaker @manfightdragon has warned fans to lower their expectations regarding this big discovery.

While adatamined version ofDemon’s Soulsfor the PS4 may seem damning, the insider has shared a believable explanation for these strings of code. According to @manfightdragon, this actually could have been the originalDemon’s Souls. Possibly brought over to PlayStation Now so that Bluepoint Games could have an easier time developing the PS5 remake, it would explain why it has not yet released. According to @manfightdragon, these ports are purely for internal use only, as they are “never intended for release” to the public.

The insider then doubles down on this claim in a follow-up Tweet, saying that they would be willing to “put money on” this theory being accurate. After all, a backport would be an odd thing to do with a potential system seller likeDemon’s SoulsPS5. With this supposed port also dating back a number of years, it is even easier to believe that this cod was left over fromBluepoint Games’ development process. While not confirmed, this seems like the most realistic scenario that fans have come up with thus far.

A final Tweet from @manfightdragon sees him reiterating that theold version ofDemon’s Soulswill likely never be sold on PlayStation Now. Doing so could take attention away from the PS5 remake, as being able to play the original may keep some fans from wanting to purchase the new console. The developer version could be incomplete as well, as it was likely never intended for a retail release. While the rumors of the PS4 backport were fun for a time, it seems more likely than not that they will turn out to be false.

While this is understandably disappointing for those that have beenunable to buy a PS5, it would be best to keep this line of thinking. With no evidence for a PS4 version of theDemon’s Soulsremake beyond the database entry, last-gen users should be more doubtful than excited.
