One of the biggest improvements in theDemon’s Soulsremake is thenew character creation systemthat has allowed players to create avatars that look like actual human beings. The results from the original game’s system were often so far off the mark that they didn’t even fall into the uncanny valley. With the new system, players have taken to accurately depicting celebrities, with one player managing to create a facsimile of rapper Kanye West.
Reddit user IHateMyselfButNotYou posted their version of West on the r/gaming subreddit, demonstrating the immense power of theDemon’s Soulscharacter creator. Comments made on the post referenced hisSouth Parkparody, various songs including “Lift Yourself” and “Runaway,” and his failed 2020 presidential campaign. However, some comments also note that the character has a bit of extra weight compared to his real-life counterpart.

IHateMyselfButNotYou did not confirm how his creation resembling the Chicago rapper operated in-game, whether he would use his supposed genius-level intellect to navigate the world of Boletaria and its many dangers, or if “Good Morning” would play every time he respawned. Perhaps West could take inspiration from the armor ofDemon’s Soulsas part of his Yeezy fashion brand, thoughhis latest footwear offeringhave been roasted by Twitter for resembling a Mexican snack food.
BesidesDemon’s Souls, other games have seen their character creation systems used to make avatars resembling real-life people, or those from other pieces of media. For example, oneRed Dead Onlineplayer created an Abraham Lincoln character, while aRed Dead Redemption 2player used its robust character customization system toturn Arthur Morgan into a Walter White lookalike.
West has a considerable connection with gaming, from samplingStreet Fighter IIon his 2016 albumThe Life of Pabloto nearly naming an album after the TurboGrafx-16 console. He even attempted to make a mobile game calledOnly Onebased on his late mother Donda West’s ascent into heaven. Earlier this year, the multi-hyphenate appeared onThe Joe Rogan Experiencepodcast, where he invokedGrand Theft AutoandSuper MarioBros.to describe his thought process and inspirations.
For now, Kanye West fans can keep themselves amused with thisDemon’s Soulsdoppelganger created in its versatile character creator, and have the rapper run through the dangerous world of Boletaria - perhaps set toWatch the Throne. However, someone may now have to create a Jay-Z duplicate to match.
