Atlus has just reaffirmed its commitment to PS3 owners who happened to pick up From Software’s Demon’s Souls. The servers for the game’s network functions are going to remain online. Originally, Atlus was saying it would only offer online functionality until October 2011, to mark the two year anniversary of it’s October 6, 2009 release. Now, it’s decided to offer service until sometime in 2012.

You’re probably wondering why this is important…

Dark Souls won’t be frustrating and challenging Japanese gamers exactly when it was supposed to. It turns out that there is going to be a very slight delay. It’s only one week though, so the game will be out on September 22, 2011 instead of September 15. Which really isn’t a big deal. I mean, it’s only seven days.

What is odd is that there isn’t any real reason given for said delay…

Demon’s Souls was a game that inspired a serious love-hate relationship. It’s fun but maddening in that it will kick the butt of even the most experienced player.

There’s no telling how many PlayStation 3 controllers met an untimely demise due to getting thrown in frustration.

Now Xbox 360 owners will share in the anguished cries as spiritual Demon’s Souls successor Dark Souls will be multiplatform. The game’s designers pride themselves on being tough but fair.

When Dark Souls was officially announced, I felt a sense of excitement and dread. Demon’s Souls was the kind of game I really respected, but loathed at the same time. What kind of game gets harder after you die? That’s why approaching Dark Souls with caution isn’t a bad idea. After learning more about the game from Hidetaka Miyazaki, the director of Demon’s Souls, my cautious intentions have turned into all out paranoia.

Newegg’s got a sale on! A PS3 Game Blowout, to be exact. The site has discounted 12 games, and they’ll stay at a low price until February 15, 2011. I bet some of these would make nice Valentine’s Day gifts. (They wouldn’t be romantic, but they’d be cool!) Best of all, all 12 qualify for free shipping.

Here’s the full list of all the sale games you can get…

Amazon’s got a neat Demon’s Souls offer that would make a great gift this holiday season. Back when Demon’s Souls first came out in October, 2009, it was part of the Atlus spoils promotion. You know, where Atlus gives out some awesome stuff when you preorder a game. Well, Amazon’s got the Greatest Hits version of the game with the preorder incentives for only $29.99…

From Software is working on a new PS3 and Xbox 360 game that will please Demon’s Souls fans. The game is called Project Dark and it was announced September 16, 2010 at the 2010 Tokyo Game Show. It will be a dark fantasy RPG, just like Demon’s Souls and will be released in Japan and overseas.

Project Dark‘s full reveal will come sometime in 2011…

Demon’s Souls has just gotten cheaper. It turns out it is the latest edition to the PlayStation Greatest Hits lineup. So you can now head to any local retailer and pick it up for $29.99. Granted, it wasn’t that difficult to find it for $29.99 before it was made a Greatest Hit, as it was often on sale, but now that’s the standard price…

Amazon’s chopped 25% off the price of three Atlus games, Demon’s Souls (PS3), 3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3) and Trauma Team (Wii). Normally, all three games retail for $39.99, but they’re now only $29.99 each online. Not a bad deal, as you can get a new copy for the price of a used one…

Atlus has some great news for owners of the PS3 action-RPG Demon’s Souls – you’ll be playing it online for at least one more year. The company just confirmed that the game servers will still be around until at least March 2011. So you can still invade other people’s games (or be invaded!), duel, take on dungeons with friends and share tidbits of wisdom on the floors for another year…
