Demon’s Souls unleashed at retail
Atlus U.S.A.’s Demon’s Souls, the action RPG developed by From Software, is now in stores around the country and the servers, which were disabled after the press was done last week, should now be fully operational. In Demon’s Souls players can team up with other players, fight them, or leave them messages to warn them or lie to them thanks to an innovative always connected multiplayer system.
But don’t take my word for it - read Gus Mastrapa’s review. To say he liked it a lot would be an understatement.
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.

In the underworld of Neo Steam lies Demon’s Souls
Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent, Atlus Online’s fantasy-steampunk massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), is releasing its menacing demons, digging deep into the darkness of the world below the shattered continent, for a map that can only be reached by higher-level players. To coincide with the reveal of the Underworld, Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent is hosting a drawing, through purchases of Atlus Crowns between Oct. 2 - Oct. 9, 2009, to win the PlayStation 3 RPG Demon’s Souls.
The Underworld opens up another high-level map for players who have achieved level 91 status or higher. Located far beneath the worlds of Chrysalis, this new area can be accessed from a hidden entrance beneath the twisted roots of the great Mother Tree on the continent in the Taxn Alliance, the third and most neutral world of Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent. TPlayers from the nations of Rogwel and Elerd are invited to seek the elusive doorway to darkness.
