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.

Namco Bandai, one of the video game industry’s leading distribution, marketing and sales companies, today announced an agreement with renowned Japanese publisher Sony Computer Entertainment for the distribution of the acclaimed action RPG title Demon’s Souls across the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.

“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 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.”
