Saved by the bell

The multiplayer servers for Demon's Souls were supposed to be plunged into darkness this month, but Atlus has managed to find a way to illuminate the cult classic’s online component for the foreseeable future. It’s not the first time the punishing From Software title has avoided the chop, and we’re pretty sure it won’t be the last.

Speaking with Game Informer magazine, Atlus’ Tim Pivnicny said:

We're incredibly excited to be able to announce that the Demon's Souls online experience will persist for a while longer.

While it originally seemed as though it would be unfeasible for us to continue to sustain the servers, a number of developments have made it possible for us to continue to invest in and support our fans as they have continued to invest in and support us and Demon's Souls.

For all the gamers who have yet to discover the game's amazing online experience, we're happy to say you can still log on and find out why Demon's Souls is still regarded by many as one of the finest games of all time.

If you’re yet to let the infuriating adventure affect your sanity, now might be the right time.
