As far as obvious changes go, the world and level design in both games are vastly different in scope. Demon's Souls is a much tighter experience comparatively, while Elden Ring blows up the developer's Souls -like conventions onto an open-world canvas.

Ten years later, Dark Souls is still important as one of the most groundbreaking and influential video games in history. Soul Arts featured some of the best concept artworks focused on the unseen lands mentioned, but never visited within the lore and gameplay of Dark Souls .
