Atlus has announced that it will continue to support the online portion of Demon’s Souls “into 2012.” The servers were originally supposed to close in March of this year in North America but it was later extended until October. A new deadline has not been announced yet.
Demon’s Souls also received another price drop recently. It’s now available for $19.99, which is a ridiculously good deal. You might as well check it out before Dark Souls releases in October.

I had no idea the servers were supposed to close so this is reassuring considering I’ve just purchased and started playing this game.

I gave it a go recently, and despite it being completely my sort of thing, I just couldn’t get into it at all. I didn’t even get far, it hadn’t even started to get hard, I don’t know what it was about it but I just didn’t get on with it.

Of course they intended to close the servers from the start, they’re not going to keep the servers going forever!
You could go elsewhere for breakfast, or stay in and just skip breakfast and have lunch, or maybe even dinner!

It seems that Demon Souls is more popular then they thought it would be. They are kind to extend the deadline as some pubilshers/devs would close down the servers on the actual date instead of extending it.
Why do i get the feeling that Dark Souls will make Demon Souls look like a puppy? I bet we will have to fight the case then fight the intruction manual and then the actual disc before we can even play it. :o

Cool, I’ve been meaning to play this and if they went and closed the server down before I get a chance it would be a major bummer.

I hope I can get hold of a copy before they close the servers then, hopefully they’ll extend the online even further.

This has been my favourite console game of this generation tbh :) Glad they’re extending the online shutoff date.

Good job too, I’ve had it since it was US-only import and I’m still nowhere near finishing it! I guess I should really go back to it soon..
MadBoJangles
Awesome news :)
I am 3/4 through NG+ and really want to get back to it soon. Easily the best game of this generation for me!
