Demon's Souls (デモンズソウル?) is a console role-playing game from From Software exclusively for the PlayStation 3. The game was released on February 5, 2009 in Japan and October 6, 2009 in North America by Sony Computer Entertainment and Atlus USA, respectively. After a long wait, it has been announced that Namco Bandai will be publishing the game for PAL territories in the second quarter of 2010.
With a dark fantasy theme, the player will set off into the heart of Boletaria, a kingdom of warriors that was destroyed after the appearance of beasts and demons. The game is described as a spiritual successor to the King's Field games. One of the game's features is a seamless transition between multiplayer and single player games, with other players invading the player's game as spirits to either help or hinder the player's progress. Similarly, once the player dies, they also have the ability to enter another player's game in an attempt to regain their own life.
