IRVINE, CALIFORNIA -- MAY 20, 2009 -- Atlus U.S.A., Inc., your shining knights in armor, today announced that they have secured the North American publishing rights for Demon's Souls™, a groundbreaking action RPG experience for PLAYSTATION®3 system. Beautiful, compelling, and unforgiving, Demon's Souls is the hardcore RPG experience PLAYSTATION 3 system owners have been waiting for since the platform's launch.

Revolutionary online features support your adventure like never before, presenting seamless interconnectivity that serves in every instance to enhance the single-player game. Team up with two other players in simultaneous cooperative play, working together to topple some of the game's colossal bosses, or force your way into the games of skilled players and challenge them to PvP battle. Leave hints and clues for those who will follow in your footsteps; either intentionally or through your own inadvertent demise, your bloodstains will allow your successors to view a replay of your death, hinting at how to avoid your gruesome fate. Unprecedented in its depth and subtlety, peerless in its relentlessly challenging gameplay, Demon's Souls is the ultimate action RPG.

Experience the game Eurogamer.net awarded 9 out of 10, hailing it as "absolutely compelling; dark, detailed, unforgiving, creatively cruel," and adding, "you can learn to love Demon's Souls like few other games in the world."

An NA release of this game will likely be what makes me purchase a PS3. Any indication on when it may happen? 6-months? 12-months? They don't exactly have to do a translation since it's already in English.

Why is it coming to NA a big shock? The only surprise is that Sony isn't the ones doing it.

I suppose people figured if SCEA didn't do it, no one would. I guess SCEA want to focus their first-party RPG marketing on WKC this year.

Atlus..knights in shining armour indeed :)

Fuck yeah, it's about time. Saves me the trouble of having to import it. Out of all the companies that could do this I'm glad it's Atlus that picked it up.

More PR:

King Allant the XII, the last king of Boletaria, searched tirelessly to expand his might. The Nexus, a great ice shrine nestled in the mountains, bestowed the power of the souls onto him, bringing prosperity to his kingdom. Still unsated, he returned again to the Nexus, where he foolishly awakened the Old One from its eternal slumber. This long forgotten evil, now wrought upon Boletaria, plunged the realm into darkness and fog. A mighty demon horde poured into the kingdom, devouring the souls of men.

Champions from other realms learned of Boletaria's fate and sought to deliver the kingdom from evil; none would return from the cursed land. Called upon by a mysterious maiden in black, you go forth, the last hope for humanity in a place lost to demons and darkness...


Key Features
  • Ultimate hardcore RPG challenge -- In this brutal land, death is inevitable, but not final. Combining the best features of an action game and RPG, you'll slice, smash, shoot, and ensorcel some of the most horrible, vicious enemies ever encountered. Are you strong enough to face the impossible and win?
  • Groundbreaking online capabilities -- Network features go far beyond any previous RPG, allowing players to leave hints for each other, replay death scenes, cooperatively revive dead players, or invade another player's game to wreak havoc. Not merely an add-on feature, multiplayer options are vast, and uniquely focused on changing and intensifying the single player experience.
  • Freeform and flexible -- The open-ended structure of the game means that there is no single path, but rather a wealth of options. Set your own pace and progress as you like. Build exactly the character you want by creating a detailed avatar, nurturing the right stats, and customizing your skills and equipment.
  • You act, the world reacts -- The World Tendency system changes the aggressiveness of monsters and the rewards for killing them based on players' actions. Different events and NPCs may be triggered, as well.

Sweetness. Glad I didn't bother to import it.

Atlus FTW. They likes the monies.

Hopefully the U.S. version will arrive here sooner rather than later and hopefully nothing in-game is changed for the worse.

I feed on the tears of the screwed importers!

Thank god I saw this thread before I imported it myself.

Really, though, it would probably be worth importing to get it early unless they add extras on to the US release.

Sweet, so about a 6-month time line. Guess I'll have a PS3 before the end of the year.

Paid a bit less than I did. Thankfully, I'm enjoying the game enough to accept the few extra bucks I paid.

I'm writing them a thank you note as we speak. I've been on the fence over importing for a while now. Thankfully the backorders kept me from impulse buying.
