The PlayStation 5 is now available, andDemon’s Soulsis one of the biggest launch games of the generation.Dark Soulsfans who missed the game’s original release on PS3, as well as returningDemon’s Soulsfans excited to see what Bluepoint Games has done, are currently combing the world. Some realized that Bluepoint appears to have snuck something surprising into the game for fans both new and old, asDemon’s Soulshas a mystery that appears to be entirely new content for players to solve.
A poster on Reddit named OrganizedBonfire posted a clip of theirDemon’s Soulsgameplaythat raised a lot of eyebrows early Saturday. The clip shows the player exploring stage 1-3, Boletaria, and discovering an illusory wall. Beyond this wall is a locked door. The thing is, neither the illusory wall nor the doorway are found in the original game. Outside of the pre-order and Deluxe Edition content forDemon’s Souls, this seems to be the first new content discovered in the game thus far.

Fearing that the door may just be a trick from Bluepoint, a false doorway that hints at new content but doesn’t actually lead to anything,Demon’s Soulsplayers did some investigating. Using the newPhoto Mode inDemon’s Souls, a player was able to twist around the locked door and see what’s behind. There’s a small courtyard area, which isn’t particularly exciting. However, there does appear to be an item waiting for players.
Demon’s Soulsplayers are already theorizing about how to open the door, thinking over what the item could be. So far, players have eliminated possible mechanisms to open the door throughout stage 1-3, changes due toPure Black and Pure White World Tendencies, as well as several other possibilities. So far, there are a lot of theories, but nothing concrete. Luckily, this kind of mystery is exactly what veteranSoulsfans tend to love about the franchise.
Some are questioning why Bluepoint would add any sort of new content when it’d previously said there wouldn’t be anything of the sort. However, fans were quick to note that this isn’t the first time Bluepoint has done this. The team also added anEaster egg inShadow of the Colossus. Similarly, there was a locked door that took the community working together to discover the secret to unlocking it.
Knowing theSoulscommunity, this kind of thing likely won’t take long to solve. However, knowing Bluepoint Games, the developer likely made it more challenging than normal knowing how excited theSoulscommunity will be about new mysteries.
