Namco annuncia l’uscita di Demon’s Souls in Europa

A caccia di anime demoniache

Atlus e Namco Bandai hanno trovato l’accordo per la distribuzione in Europa di Demon’s Souls, l’acclamato gioco di ruolo (RPG) realizzato da FromSoftware in esclusiva per console PlayStation 3. L’annuncio era nell’aria da tempo anche perchè un titolo molto apprezzato in Giappone e Nord America, con più di 280 mila copie vendute, non poteva rimanere ad uso esclusivo d’oltreoceano. GameSpot lo ha incoronato gioco dell’anno 2009.

Il titolo, con parlato in inglese e sottotitoli in italiano, è in uscita il giorno 23 Giugno 2010 in Europa (il 25 in Regno Unito e Irlanda) in versione Black Phantom, con custodia in metallo e contenuto aggiuntivo di artbook, la guida strategica e cd musicale della colonna sonora.
