Demon's Souls Even Harder on Halloween Night

Atlus warns players about the upcoming challenge.

A press release sent out today by Atlus warns players of the potential hazards of playing Demon Soul's on Halloween night.

According to Atlus, on Halloween Night in the world of Demon's Souls, the "Old One's power grows" and that "the nefarious Demon will seek to descend the land in pure blackness on All Hallow's Eve."

Players can expect the enemies they encounter to be tougher than ever before, although Atlus promises the "rewards for those who seek to challenge them will be greater" than normal.

The last statement of warning issued to players was that the time frame in which the creatures will remain within the world of Demon's Souls is unknown, and they highly recommend that individuals "prone to controller-into-LCD syndrome…proceed carefully."

HEROES OF BOLETARIA, BE WARNED: THE OLD ONE'S POWER WILL GROW ON ALL HALLOW'S EVE

If you opt to play Demon's Souls online on Halloween, quest with caution...

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 29, 2009 - Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today passed along an ominous warning to online players of the sleeper hit Demon's Souls for PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

"Early reports from the Kingdom of Boletaria indicate that the Old One's power grows," announced Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales for Atlus, shuffling awkwardly under the weight of his full set of fluted armor. "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." Jabbari then cackled as he quickly put a Thief's ring on his finger and disappeared.

Demon's Souls is out now for PlayStation 3 system and retails with an MSRP of $59.99. For more information, visit the game's official website (LINK) and wiki (LINK).
