Demon’s Souls launched on PS3 in 2009, yet its enduring popularity prompted developer From Software to keep its online servers open for business miles longer than anticipated. However, tomorrow finally marks the end of an era, with online play shutting its doors for the brutal RPG.
This will render in many of Demon’s Souls’ unique functionalities useless, predoinenetly the online cooperative play and invasions. In addition, features such as leaderboards, wandering silhouettes, bloodstains, plus hints and messages left by other players will also go the way of the Dodo.
The game is still playable offline, obviously, but if you’re eager to enjoy some of these features one last time, then you had better get your skates on before they’re gone for good. If you’ve survived all these years without playing Demon’s Souls, then you’ve missed out on one of last generation’s finest gaming experiences.Â
Fortunately, Demon’s Souls lives on in its spiritual successor Dark Souls, which is being remastered for the PS4, Xbox One, and Switch this year.
