Demon’s Souls Finally Rolls Out To Europe This June

Over one year ago Phil Caron reviewed an imported version of Demons Souls.  Fifteen months later I’m finally going to be able to play it for myself.  Thank goodness for Namco-Bandai, that’s what I say.

Namco Bandai have today announced an agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment Inc for the distribution of the acclaimed action RPG title Demon’s Souls across the European and Asia Pacific regions. The title will be launched on June 25, 2010 as an exclusive European limited edition retail pack containing the soundtrack CD, a new artbook and brand new strategy guide.

“We’re very pleased to be working with SCEI to bring the fantastic Demon’s Souls to gamers outside of Japan and North America,” said Olivier Comte, VP Marketing, Sales & Publishing at Namco Bandai. “The game is exactly the kind of quality experience with which we are continuing to grow the Namco Bandai Games portfolio of titles, and we will be working hard to ensure it’s at least as much of a success in our markets as it has already proven to be elsewhere.”

In his second review of the title Phil stated that “Demon’s Souls is not an RPG for every gamer.  It is not a casual RPG; it will not hold your hand, it will not tell you where to go next, and it most certainly will not notice you’re getting your face smashed in and weaken the AI in order to make it easier for you. ”

It’s coming in limited numbers too, which is slightly disappointing, but the European launch of Demon’s Soul’s can be pre ordered now from Play.com, Game.co.uk, HMV.co.uk and other leading retailers whilst stocks last.  If this sounds like a game you might want to investigate further you can check out his two reviews at the links below.  Roll on June 25th!
