Demon’s Souls multiplayer online Oct. 6, says Atlus

Atlus says that its hardcore action RPG developed by From Software is proving to be a niche title, with the company shipping for more units that has for an RPG in a long time. That’s a given, considering how much fans and journalists have been fawning over it. But what consumers need to be aware of is that the game’s online servers - and therefore multiplayer and co-op features - won’t be live until Tuesday, Oct. 6.

What this means, says Atlus, is that users that might manage to pick the game up early and start it up will get an immediate PSN error and have to start playing offline.

So if you get a copy early, good for you but keep in mind that online won’t function properly until sometime on Oct. 6. You have officially been warned, so please spare us all any crying in forums.
