Demon's Souls tunnetaan vaikeana pelinä, ja joidenkin mukaan kokemuksen helpottaminen poistaisi jotain olennaista pelikokemuksesta. From Softwaren klassikosta uusintaversion tehneen Bluepoint Gamesin Game Director Gavin Moore on kertonut Washington Postille, että Easy Modesta keskusteltiin, mutta että lopulta sitä ei kuitenkaan mukaan lisätty.
"This project remakes the work of another development team. While we've made some changes, our core driving mantra has always been to preserve the spirit and intent of the original creators. While we considered and discussed an easy mode, we ultimately decided it wasn't our place — merely being custodians for this amazing game — to add something that would fundamentally alter its balance."
