A world record speedrun progression video for both original 2009 PS3 Demon’s Souls and its 2020 PS5 Remake! It will showcase all the world record speedruns I could find, how the first few speedruns developed, when and how new skips / tech / glitches were implemented, and a bonus showcase of all the GamesDoneQuick features of Demon’s Souls.

This video took around 4 months to produce from the research phase to final export, beginning in early-mid January, with a few breaks for Elden Ring and a vacation in Europe! I hope you enjoy it and find it informative :)
