Demon's Souls online server's to be extended into 2012

Atlus today announced plans to again extend its online server support for the hardcore multiplayer action RPG Demon's Souls for PlayStation 3, ensuring that the game's online functionality is available into 2012.

"While it comes at significant cost to us and although it has been over two years since the game revolutionized the notion of multiplayer and online functionality in an RPG," commented Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales at Atlus, "Our commitment to the game and the fans that turned it into an incredible success remains as strong as ever. While the reality is that one day the servers will ultimately close due to operation and maintenance costs, that day is not today, nor will it be this year. We're excited to continue to support one of the most significant, influential games in recent memory into its third year, and we're planning to hold more tendency events for our loyal, beloved fans."

In addition to their continued commitment to the online functionality, Atlus also today revealed plans for Pure White and Pure Black World Tendency events for the holiday season, the details of which would be disclosed at a later date.
