More Life Extension for Demon’s Souls

Demons Souls
Atlus had previously pledged to keep the lights on for Demon’s Souls’ servers until at least March 2011, and now sends word that they are aiming to keep the online side of the RPG that refuses to die running until the game’s second anniversary – which would put us around October 2011 if you’re keeping score. I do realize many would like the online part of the game to continue forever.

The announcement comes with a reminder that the game is available at greatest hits pricing, and that those in Boletaria can expect a Pure White World Tendency event starting on December 20th and running into the start of the new year.

  1. I bought the game on launch day (the CE) but haven’t played it yet… so my question is, do I NEED the online component to really enjoy it (as MAG does) or is it an extra way of experiencing it (like Monster Hunter Tri)?

  2. I hesitate at comparing things like this, but more the Monster Hunter Tri variety, the online is like another layer built on the foundation of the game that really is a unique experience, which I’d really recommend checking out before that date next year.

  3. Thanks. I’ve got until october 2011 so I’ll definitely give Demon’s Soul a tour in February-March and go for platinum.

  4. Platinum? Good luck. :P Online is really just an added bonus. You can see other peoples hints or see how they died to try and avoid the same fate. People can jump into your game and kill you… or you can summon someone for help… but I’ve never done either. The biggest thing is probably the world tendency shifting between Black & White which is easier than trying to achieve the shift manually.

  5. Too bad I can’t connect to PSN anymore. Ah well… Demon’s Souls is just as rad without other people’s hints. Demon’s Souls is probably THE reason to own a PS3. In fact Demon’s Souls is so freaking rad that I own 3 copies (U.S. LE, EUR LE & U.S. GH) of it! Oh yeah!
