What good does that do anyone if the servers are still offline? Good question. In an announcement issued earlier today, Atlus revealed that PlayStation 3 owners are now able to download Demon’s Souls from the PlayStation Network Store for only $20. However, there’s still apparently a sizable demand for the original hyper-difficult roleplaying game, and thus Atlus has decided to once again revive Demon’s Souls. Since that time most fans of Demon’s Souls have moved on to Dark Souls, a From Software-developed dungeon crawl that is often described as the spiritual sequel to Demon’s Souls. May 31 came and went and the Demon’s Souls servers went dark. The servers would stay on, at least until May 31, 2012. Atlus had initially planned to bring down the Demon’s Souls servers on October of 2011, but when Demon’s Souls proved itself a major hit, the company offered players a reprieve. While Demon’s Souls is largely a singleplayer roleplaying game, it also includes novel online functionality that can drastically alter the game’s world while also allowing players to send messages to one another. The devoted Demon’s Souls fanbase is so rabid for their dungeon crawler of choice that it has made of habit of bringing the game back from the dead. Almost everything in the title’s dark fantasy world is out to murder you in really nasty fashion, yet the “realistic” combat and chance to make just a bit more progress than on your last attempt keeps players coming back in droves, even years after the game’s 2009 debut.
This is a game developed by From Software that seemingly revels in a player’s misery. Against all odds, Demon’s Souls has become one of the most popular cult classic games in recent memory.
