Gaming history buffs and Soulsborne enthusiasts alike are buzzing over newly surfaced footage of an unseen first-person perspective mode in the original Demon's Souls, showcased in a 2007 presentation by Japan Studio PD#3. The discovery, made by Elden Ring dataminer Lance McDonald on August 7th, 2026, offers an unprecedented glimpse into the game's early development stages and presents some fascinating differences from its eventual release. Among these alterations, Demon's Souls' initial camera system featured a fixed third-person mode that mimicked The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion's control scheme, as well as a first-person combat option. Additionally, the presentation reveals a few abandoned creatures from the final game, such as snake-headed men and a regular crocodile. But perhaps the most intriguing revelation is a South Park reference hidden within the slideshow, featuring an image of Eric Cartman addicted to World of Warcraft – a nod to the developers' aim for a balanced blend of offline and online RPG elements. This captivating find follows McDonald's recent uncovering of an unused Elden Ring cutscene that expanded its already rich lore even further, proving once again that there's always more to discover in the world of FromSoftware.
