Demon's Souls Servers Online Until 2011

By james_fudge

Fans concerned that Atlus would shut down its Demon's Souls servers need not worry in 2010. According to a Game | Life report, the servers for the popular action RPG for PS3 created by From Software will continue to be online for at least another year. Atlus said this week that it would continue to support online play of the PlayStation 3 game Demon's Souls through at least March 2011.

With some publishers looking out for their bottom line (shutting down servers for older games) as opposed to supporting fans, Atlus has proven that it cares about keeping fans satisfied well beyond a 12 month window. And if you're going to support a game it should at the very least be a game that fans have enjoyed - and continue to enjoy - playing.

Atlus also announced that it will shift the game's "world tendency" color to "pure white," which means that online play will be a little easier - at least for a few weeks.

If you haven't tried one of the PS3's best RPG games of 2009, you probably should go out and buy it.. now. I predict that you will be pleasantly surprised at how great this game is. Read More
