Demon’s Souls is the action role playing game developed by From Software and published by Atlus in North America. The developer had strongly stated that the game’s servers would not go online until launch. The game was released in the beginning of October. Now Atlus has announced that additional copies of Demon’s Souls will be supplied to US retailers, due to the high demand for the game.
“We’re thrilled at the level of interest and acclaim gamers are showing for Demon’s Souls, one of the best reviewed games of the year and one of the highest-rated role-playing games of all time,” said Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales for Atlus. “We’re working quickly to get more copies of the game out onto store shelves. We thank fans for supporting a daring, innovative product, and we ask interested gamers to be patient as stock is replenished.”
The North American publisher also noted that the Deluxe Edition of the game has sold out, and will not be manufactured anymore. The Deluxe Edition contained a 160 page strategy guide, plus a collectible embossed slipcase.
“While the now discontinued Deluxe Edition of Demon’s Souls was the only way to obtain the game’s official strategy guide, the title already benefits from an in-game messaging system, a tremendous online community, and dozens of online resources for players who are finding the game to be a bit challenging,” Jabbari added.
Demon’s Souls is for the PS3 console and retails for a maximum suggested retail price of 59.99 USD (approx. Rs. 2,760).
