Dark Souls 3 Remaster Reportedly in the Works for 2026

Soulsborne fans, get ready! Multiple leaks suggest that FromSoftware is working on a Dark Souls 3 remaster, set to launch in 2026 — and it’s reportedly already deep into development. 🛠️

🗡️ Dark Souls 3 Returns — While DS2 Is Left Behind

It looks like FromSoft is skipping Dark Souls II entirely and jumping straight into a remaster of the fan-favorite Dark Souls 3. That’s right — the dark fantasy classic that reignited the Souls hype in 2016 is getting a visual and performance facelift for modern platforms.

Originally released on March 24, 2016, the timing of this potential remaster would align perfectly with a 10th anniversary celebration. 🕯️

🕵️‍♂️ What We Know from Leaks So Far

• 🚨 Known leaker Kurakasis claims FromSoftware has an unannounced project under the codename “FMC”, believed to be the DS3 remaster.
• 🧩 This title is already far along in development and almost certainly targeting a 2026 release.
• 🖥️ It’s being designed as a multi-platform release, ruling out ties to Switch 2 exclusives like Duskbloods.

While some speculated this could be a new IP, the evidence overwhelmingly points to a remaster of an existing title — and with DS3 leaks dating back to 2024, the puzzle pieces are starting to fit.

🎙️ Industry Insiders Back It Up

🧠 XboxEra’s Nick Baker mentioned as far back as November 2024 that a Dark Souls 3 remaster was on the horizon, though details were scarce at the time. Now, with multiple trusted sources hinting at the same thing, the DS3 remaster is looking more real than ever.

🔮 What To Expect?

While Dark Souls 3 still holds up visually and mechanically, FromSoft has come a long way since 2016 — thanks to Elden Ring and the upcoming Duskbloods. The real question is:

👉 Will this be a basic upscaling job — or a full-on, reimagined experience worthy of the 2020s?

⚔️ One Last Bonfire?

With a rumored remaster, new visuals, modern hardware support, and maybe even refined combat mechanics, Dark Souls 3 could soon be reborn for a new generation of players. Stay tuned — the Age of Fire might be rekindled once again. 🔥
