Publisher Atlus just broadcast a foreboding public service announcement to those who decide to play Demon's Souls online this Halloween weekend: Basically, stuff's about to get nasty.
PR and sales manager Aram Jabbari from Atlus gave us the rundown:
"Early reports from the Kingdom of Boletaria indicate that the Old One's power grows. We've discovered that the nefarious Demon will seek to descend the land in pure blackness on All Hallow's Eve. His minions will be more powerful, but the rewards for those who seek to challenge them will be greater as well. We don't know how long this dark tendency will last, but we do advise those prone to controller-into-LCD syndrome to proceed carefully."
So if Demon's Souls somehow wasn't enough of a challenge for you already, then this All Hallow's Eve event ought to be right up your alley. Be sure to let us know if the improved loot is worth the struggle.
