Dark Souls 3 remaster reportedly in development at FromSoftware for 2026 multi-platform release
According to information shared by known FromSoftware leaker Kurakasis, the unannounced title under the codename 'FMC' is advanced in development and planned as a multi-platform release.
This aligns with speculation that the studio is preparing to mark the 10th anniversary of Dark Souls 3 with a remaster.
Kurakasis claims, 'It's far enough along in development to be almost guaranteed for a 2026 release.' Fans have also referenced previous comments from XboxEra's Nick Baker, who mentioned in a 2024 stream that a Dark Souls 3 remaster was in the works, though details on its release timing remained unclear.
The report notes that FromSoftware appears to be focusing on a Dark Souls 3 remaster rather than revisiting the second game in the series, aligning with fan interest in the third entry.
The project is not connected to the upcoming Switch 2 exclusive Duskbloods, suggesting a broader platform strategy for the remaster.
While details on potential new content or refinements in the remaster are yet to be confirmed, sources indicate it is likely to remain faithful to the original while leveraging a decade of development advancements by FromSoftware.

Elden Ring Nightreign outsells Switch 2 launch game, Mario Kart World, in June
Elden Ring: Nightreign was the best-selling game in the United States in June 2025, outselling Nintendo's major Switch 2 launch title, Mario Kart World, according to Circana data. Nightreign, a $40 standalone multiplayer spinoff of FromSoftware's open-world RPG, launched at the end of May. The game achieved two million units sold on its first day and over 3.5 million within five days. Reviews were strong, with Steam ratings moving to 'Very Positive' shortly after launch, and the game maintained its full-game pricing structure. In comparison, Mario Kart World, which launched alongside the Switch 2 on June 5, came in third for June's best-selling games in the US. The Switch 2 debuted at $450, or $499 with a Mario Kart World bundle, with both receiving strong promotion and launch demand. Chris Cocks, Hasbro CEO, noted that pricing and accessibility may have contributed to Nightreign's lead, as the game is multiplatform and sold for less than half the price of a new console bundle. This price difference may have influenced purchasing decisions for players balancing hardware and software costs. Other titles performing strongly in June included Death Stranding 2 in second place, while Stellar Blade climbed to fifth, and Cyberpunk 2077 re-entered the top 20 at eighteenth due to discounts and next-gen updates.

Nintendo Switch 2 becomes fastest-selling US console surpassing PlayStation 4 record
The Nintendo Switch 2 has become the fastest-selling gaming console in the United States, surpassing the record previously held by the PlayStation 4 for twelve years. Reports indicated that the Switch 2 sold over 3.5 million units worldwide in its first four days. Data from analytics firm Circana confirmed that 1.6 million units were sold in the United States during June, placing it ahead of the PS4's previous record of 1.1 million units sold in November 2013. Circana reported that the Switch 2's launch contributed to the highest June on record for video game hardware sales in the United States, generating $978 million USD. This launch performance reflects the high demand and consumer interest leading up to the Switch 2's release. Additionally, Mario Kart World was the third-best-selling game of the month. Circana noted that this ranking does not include copies bundled with the console, meaning bundle sales were not counted in its chart position. Mat Piscatella, Executive Director at Circana, stated that 82% of US Switch 2 owners also own a copy of Mario Kart World. With the release of Donkey Kong Bananza on July 17, the Nintendo Switch 2 continues to maintain strong momentum in the market.
