Sony revealed Demon’s Souls Remake’s character creator today and it looks like you can now play the game as an actual person.
“With this new character creator, you will be able to customize your appearance with up to 16 million permutations,” writes Sony Worldwide Studios’ creative director Gavin Moore over on the PlayStation Blog. “We’ve added many more customization options than you’ll remember from the PS3 game, and also worked hard to ensure there is a satisfying variety possible for those who wish to tinker with every slider.”
