Rumor: Demon's Souls 2 Announcement Incoming

Dengeki is either playing games with our hearts or a big announcement concerning Demon's Souls is possibly coming our way very soon. In the latest Dengeki Games podcast, they hint at a big announcement of an unannounced sequel to a title that was released last year and it'll release this fall. The title is described as very hard and interesting.

[Pennywise]

Come on... DO NOT play with my emotions.

[Noctis Aftermath]

If this is true http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Cyrax_87]

If it isn't Demon's Souls 2, I'll just die...

[Fishy Fingers]

If it IS Demon Souls you'll probably die... again... and again... ;)

[Fox01]

Release the first one in Europe first damn it!

[-Alpha]

Man do I feel bad for European players.

You could import it.

Demon's Souls 2 will easily be my GOTY and 2nd most anticipated game if it comes out this fall right behind The Last Guardian.

OMG, I'm freaking out! 2010 would be the best year for me if it's true:

-Halo Reach
-The Last Guardian
-God of War 3
-Bad Company 2
-Demon's Souls 2
-Maybe even Killzone 3

@fishd

*gasp* You deserve much worse than a slap :P

[fishd]

I have yet to play the first one :'(

Someone slap me in the face please.

[Daver]

Oh yeah!! make it real! cant wait for this!

[Fox01]

Sure I could import it, but it'd cost me more than 70€ and I wouldn't be able to play with my buddies. If by the end of May it still isn't out here then I will import the American version.

[Hisiru]

I hope so! Demon's souls is one of the best RPGs this generation.

This game really uses your brain and treats you like an adult.

Is it hard? Yes, but that's how it should be.

@Alpha-Male22
Add The Agent to your list, isn't it coming this year?

[Aquarius]

still will like to be able to enter the 6th archstone.

[xTruthx]

omg plz let it be truth, I loved this game

[Qdog]

The real Demon's Souls starts here....

Every time I read a message on the ground, it's like opening a fortune cookie.

[Chimerhazzard]

Dude that can't be... I imported the game and it cost me 44 euros, shipping included :\ I beated it and I LOVED IT. And the best is really the multiplayer... it's so awesome! I love to be a Black Phantom hahahah xD

I'm in trouble! - please recommend this message!

[sikbeta]

Just Awesome, Demon's Souls 2, 2 Times More Difficult than the First, It'll be The More Sadistic, Amazing and Epic...I'm all for it

Gamers FTW!!!

[Lemmiwinks]

unless they make the giant world as big as the whole entire demons souls 1....demons souls was fun and really hard, the story was very lacking tho. it just seemed really black and white like good vs evil there were no plot twists or anything. it was kinda like just kill all these bad guys and then the fog will go away then restart and do it again.....like how can they make a sequel off that the story isnt complexed at all its very simple....i almost hopes it not a sequel and they just make the giant world really hard and make it DLC, and add voice chat when you summon people cause the text chat for ps3 is censored to the max and its really annoying when it wont let you type things that arent even bad words lol, and maybe a stone that lets you choose to enter anyone of your friends game as either a blue phantom or a red phantom without them suummoning you...IMO dlc first then do a sequel if its possible.....

[negroguy]

let it b true lord! ive put alot of hours of cussing and frustration into the first ready for some more!

[Jamegohanssj5]

2010 GOTY.

TGSI

[Baliw]

disagree with Fox01 about Demon's Souls not to be yet released in Europe?

Come on, give us a break we want the game in Europe no need for you morons to disagree with the man.

Even I own 4 copies of the game, I will go out and buy another one if so.

Anyway, I HOPE it will be Demon's Souls 2 or 1.5, or whatever DS they want.

[legendkilla]

I cant wait for Demon's Souls 2!!!

[kwicksandz]

maybe they will bother to release the game this time to PAL gamers as well?

FU sony and atlus

[ThanatosDMC]

I want an open world Demon's Souls, random armor and weapons ala Diablo 2 prefix and suffix, more armor sets, lots of bosses that respawn in a in every so many hours or game days, and for Atlus not to change too much of the original names of items, magic, comments, etc.

"This is harsh. Evaluate me." >> "I'm in trouble — please recommend this message"

Keel Smasher >> Dragon Bone Smasher

Plague Babies >> Filthy Ones

They didnt even need to change them but they did anyway. Retarded.

[SolidAhmed]

THE BEST NEWS IN 2010 period

edit:by the way guys i did platinum the us version and i am very close to do the asian version

I WILL BE A HAPPY HAPPY MAN if this is true

[JL]

@Lemmiwinks

I don't think that would really rule out a sequel. I mean look back at Super Mario Bros. There was no story to that. It was just "here, run from castle to castle trying to save the princess". Yet he (Mario) became an icon and sequel after sequel was released. I think there's plenty of room for a sequel. Maybe the Old One wakes up again or something simple like that. Then we just start all over again with different territories to fight through. Maybe something involving The Northern Lands and that 6th archstone. The point is there's plenty of room there to make a sequel. While the game didn't really have a storyline that guided you along as you went, there was a story and history to it all that the players understand. The point throughout the game was more about being thrown into the world and the "story" merely being your experience in that world rather than conventional story-telling that you just follow along.

That being said, I'd love a sequel to this game. I'm actually still playing through Demon's Souls. Haven't beat it yet (really close, just going through working on upgrading and farming and leveling up and such before I finish it off), but already I'm definitely sure I'll want more. Here's to hoping it's not too long a wait. My sympathies go out to European gamers who are still waiting (if it will ever make it over there at all).

[SaiyanFury]

I loved Demon's Souls, it was a great game. While I completely welcome a sequel, I'd love to see a new King's Field game. It was one of my favourite series' on the original PS and KF4 on PS2. A sequel would be well accepted by me.

[DaTruth]

Finally, something that will make me stop playing Demon's Souls 1! I might be done with it by Fall. Give me the sixth archstone DLC now and I won't need anything else till May 2011!

Might as well not pick up any other games this year! I don't even have a PS3 anymore, I have a Demon's Souls machine!

[Tru_Blu]

@Fox

You know there is not an invite system or anything right? When you play with people online it's random people within 10 levels of you.

[mastiffchild]

@fox-completely agree. The way they treat us UK and EU gamers is beyond crappy considering we already pay more for everything to start with. When you have to import, as you will cos it won't come, be careful as 've been ripped off twice trying to import this game ansd STILL haven't got a copy. the trouble beghan when Play Asia stopped shipping over here and I had to go to Ebay where a HK bloke first ripped me off and tthen a UK import seller closed on me after taking my cash-and I've heard other people telling how US sites have conned them too over DS.

When I finally get my cash back from the last one I'll try one last tme(someone on N4G is happy to sell me their spare Asian copy once they got a US one)but not to give other language speakers a version even to import is a real crime when you think how well Sony has been supported by the EU this gen compare to the US where they get everything and pay less for it despite having a better average wage than many EU nations. SCEE are sh1t.Why no EU release? Why not?

[Ravage27]

+ confirmation of Arc support.....omg...*faint*

[-Alpha]

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!

Please let it be true!

I honestly don't know what to say, but my hopes are getting really high!

Maybe he means DLC though for Demon's Souls?

They will be crazy to not make a sequel to Demon's Souls, it's one of the best games of all time!

Oh man, what would I want in a sequel though?? Demon's Souls formula is perfect the way it is!

I don't even think they should add more story in case they ruin it...

Maybe they can put in some more story scenes.

Honestly, I do NOT care if they offer new worlds with the same gameplay and no improvements, I think the game is absolutely fine the way it is and I will totally eat up a sequel.

OMG man, new demon's, new worlds, new characters, new weapons, I'm dying for it!

And this time Sony has to market it, this game needs some well deserved justice by Butler.

@Kain

You are only getting my hopes up higher

[Kain81]

Dengenki speaks about a Sequel, i dont think its a DLC

[artsaber]

I can't remember when I've seen you so excited about the prospect of a new game. I agree with you though. I cannot believe how great and close to perfect (IMO) that Demon Souls was/is. The complete gameplay blend IS a perfect formula for absolute fun. I have never been willing to play through a game on the second playthrough as eager as I was with Demon Souls.

The game is that awesome, and it works as a complete package.

[-Alpha]

I have never played a game like Demon's Souls and I never expected to fall in so much love with this game. When I bought this game I was VERY close to selling it on ebay because I wasn't sure if I'd like it but it's a game I truly enjoy unlike nothing other.

And yes, a Demon's Souls 2 does excite the crap out of me because I never expected a sequel. Maybe this whole rumor is not true, in which case I'd be very upset, but the chance that DS2 has the possibility of coming back shoots me to the moon.

And I'm glad somebody agrees with how terrific the core gameplay is.

Demon's Souls was my 2009 GOTY. Many people went with Uncharted 2 but I think Demon's Souls was much deserving because:

-It was far more original
-It was by far a huge gamble of a concept
-It had less to work with and still offered something exceptional
-The gameplay was refreshing (for me) and was much stronger
-It was much more rewarding
-The boss fights were much more thought out
-The atmosphere was much richer

Not saying UC2 was terrible *Puts up flame shield anyway*, it's my runner up, but Demon's Souls is one of those little games with a big heart and From Software made a game that simply deserves the title.

[DaTruth]

I need you to understand this; Demon's Souls is a better game than UC2!

Last time I wrote this, it was a joke at IGN's expense. This time I'm serious!

[Ravage27]

i think both games are equally worthy of GoTY (they are tied imo) and there is absolutely nothing wrong with voting for DS.

Demon's Souls may not hook you immediately, and it may not have godly graphics(still good though) but both the gameplay and atmosphere are so unique

[AssassinHD]

I honestly have to agree with you there. Demon's Souls is my personal game of the year for 2009. Much respect to Uncharted 2 of course, but Demon's Souls is just so satisfying to play.

[PirateThom]

I only just got the first game a few days ago! FUUUUUUUUU

[Orange]

make sure to look for special events when they have pure black and pure white world tendencies. it will make your life a lot easier if you're looking to collect all of the trophies.

[Chris399]

Period.

Please keep the English language track (or subtitles) so that I can import the HK version. Bless.

Just putting it out there, but what would everyone want to see in a sequel?

Edit: Think I'm going to 'approve' this just to watch the carnival :) DS4LIFE!!!

[mfwahwah]

I'd want the sequel to make some minor improvements.

More armor, and make it actually useful for something (shield + rolling is the only defense you need).

More unique weapons and armor never hurts.

Make magic builds more difficult. I found it way too easy compared to playing a physical build.

If a black phantom invades you, and you disconnect, you lose a Soul Level. I'll quote Filthy Man for why I want this: "And those who cling to humanity get hunted down."

[Hellsvacancy]

Im still 2-play the 1st game, i will import it in due time, theres just so many games cummin out over the next few months i dunno where im gonna find the time

[Kain81]

MAN IAM REALLY PISSED OFF ABOUT THAT

[PirateThom]

Import.

Atlus don't release EU games.
Sony seem to have, inexplicably, no interest in their franchise.

South Peak are releasing 3D Dot Game Heroes but, again, have inexplicably not picked up Demon's Souls.

[Chris399]

Don't need a US account to play either. At least I didn't with the HK version. I assume the server is tied to whatever region the disc is.

Amazon won't let you order it, but Gamestop might (I usually use them when Amazon refuses a purchase based on non-US addresses). They charge a flat $15 international fee, me thinks. I know that they're "evil", but at least you could play DS :)

[Noctis Aftermath]

It's a crime that sony won't publish DS in europe but they will publish other games in europe that blow with no problem.

I got mine from http://www.play-asia.com/pa...

Also i play it using my eu account and i have no problems with the online component.

[PirateThom]

I got mine from here, very speedy:

http://www.axelmusic.com/pr...

[Kain81]

for that money i could buy 2 new Games or 4 used Games here in Germany
man that sucks really i hope sony has some mercy left for there fans, here in EU and publish this GEM.

EDIT:WOW thx didnt know that site, and bubbles

[TOO PAWNED]

Kain

Americans don't understand that, they just respond with generic "import it".

NO I WON'T import it! It's do damn expensive, and our market deserves better treatment, after all we are biggest Playstation market, most supportive of PS brand and yet Sony keeps on showing us the finger! Yes middle one

[PirateThom]

Eh? I imported the game for almost the same price as a new game in the UK.

[ico92]

People keep telling me to import it last time i checked on amazon.co.uk it was around £60 minus delivery i cant afford to spend £60 on a game most games here in the U.K are priced around £35-45

[nycredude]

You guys who think the game is too expensive to import. I can assure you if you are into this kind of game there is no game better to pay that kind of money for. You will get more than your money's worth. Tons of gameplay here.

[Nikuma]

Sorry but this game is worth the extra cost of importing. I imported the Asian version before the US version was announced and it ran me about 90$. Never did I once regret it.

[monkey602]

I attempted importing, Bought the US version from GamesBasment.co.uk
That was over a month ago and it still hasn't been shipped. Tried contacting 3 times and only got a useless response to one of my mails. anyone thinking of importing completely avoid this site. It should be black listed

[taliesin]

Kain

Agreed, i managed to find a copy second hand in the UK. I normally dont buy second hand as i like to support the developer, but this was just to good an opportunity to miss

[SeanScythe]

man so many typo's because everyone is so excited they are just over come with joy and excitement.

[Sackdude]

Demon's Souls!

I really hope they do a squeal, this is the true RPG game.

[Colonel-Killzone]

i can't wait ^__^

[divideby0]

I so much wanted an I suck patch (like NG), for me..game was way out of my league and had to settle watching someone play through parts of the game

[DaTruth]

There's an easy answer for that; Pharming!!! Just rank up until you are so powerful, nobody can test you. That's why Newgame+ was much harder for me, even with all the weapons and rings and armour!

[beavis4play]

this is GREAT news if it's DS2!

[ClownBelt]

Damn awesome news. I can't wait for the Asian version of this game.

[FwanK]

Best Survival Horror this generation... yes, i said Survival Horror ;)

[cmrbe]

You always try your best to survive and then complete horror when you do and go back to the nexus lol. Never have i played a game where i am on the edge of my seat all the time and feared death unlike any game before.

Best RPG this gen sofar surpassing VC and Folklore as well.

[kemiru]

Great news but Europe waiting for first one :(

[AliTheBrit19]

Pffft.

How about a European release for the first game first?

[gamingisnotacrime]

wet my pants

[arakouftaian]

D E A M O N S S O U L S

with GOW3 engine is a WIN

[subzero-08]

This had better be real.

[DiLeCtioN]

the frikking first game is not even out here yet wtf man

[gamingisnotacrime]

lol

[Orange]

holy fcuk! let it be so!

[reaferfore20]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!

[ps3hasonlyflopgames]

another flop incoming and sealed.

damn you sony stop make crap games for ps3rd station..

[Slient Knight 9]

if true i got three words for ya "BRING TO EUROPE"

[Doletskaya]

Seriously,Demon's Souls is the best RPG(also the most original RPG)I have played so far this gen.I am dying to see an announcement of a sequel.Even if its just new worlds and new monstarts in Demon's Souls's skin,I will still get it day one.

[dorron]

European release for the first please!!!!

[bjornbear]

EUROPE GODDAMNIT!

[unchartedgoty]

daaaamn, i havent played it but i seen gameplay and its amzing to say the very very least. ds2, i need to catch on lol, its just kz2 borderlands, heavy rain......not much time!

[Ariellog]

GOTY back to back, if i only buy one game ever again it would be Demon souls 2 :)

[Ariellog]

i would like to add i would like to have a personalize Blue stone system where you can give someone a copy of your stone to call you anytime they want, i think it would be better than the current system

[sleepyazn]

OMfg YEs! YEs! PLease ANnounce DEmon's SOuls TWo. I WOuld FReaken KIll TO GEt/PLay THis!!!

[VileAndVicious]

This is awesome.

[tulholdren]

Please be DS2 I want to die again and again so many times 8) If is another Day 1

[seifer085]

this is true cause Demon's souls is such a innovative, different game for consoles.

[AKS]

Uh, oh, is it time to get out the Mirdan Hammer and Dragon Bone Smasher again already? Bring it on! :)

[TheBand1t]

You mean the Mirdan Hammer and Meat Cleaver.

[AKS]

The Meat Cleaver is more of a high soul level weapon. With a character capped at SL 120, I prefer to use the Dragon Bone Smasher. It can also be enchanted, it probably does more damage at that SL, and also gives a bunch of fire damage resistance as a bonus. So I definitely meant the Dragon Bone Smasher.

[TheBand1t]

I was dealing 419 damage with the Meat Cleaver in my first game, and that was without any enhancements.

:)

[AKS]

My attack with the DBS was in the mid-500 range without enhancements. It has a much higher base attack than the Meat Cleaver, especially at +5. The Meat Cleaver only becomes more powerful after you raise Strength, Dexterity, and Faith by a considerable amount. If you cap your soul level between 100 and 120, you do more damage with the Dragon Bone Smasher +5, plus you get an additional +60 fire defense. Check it out for yourself. You'll see.

[DaTruth]

Forget those heavy weapons! Give me a Moonlight winged spear and a cleaver Rats ring with Sword of Morrow secondary left hand and I'll deal you 810 damage with dexterity that will render your Meat Cleaver and Bone Smasher useless!

[EvilBlackCat]

ok now close your eyes and wish it!!!

CLOSE THEM HARD!!!

COME ON EVERYBODY!!!

[dkgshiz]

Good thing I don't live there.

[almasy919]

I love everything about the first one...but they sure as hell could work on the story. Everything good about Demon's Souls + Awesome story = Happy Me.

[PLAYWATCH]

This game is awesome.

I like diversity in my games but I never knew I would like a game like Demon Souls until I tried it.

In the beginning, me and my friend spent like 9 hrs straight and totally forgot about time.

The game is incredibly satisfying and engrossing.

Yes, I rather play Demon Soul than Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 2 is FREAKING GOOD!

[razielsonofkain]

Defo one of the best games iv played - well worth the import. £40 it cost me when it was new out :D fantastic game. Should really get back to it sometime :D Bring on Number 2

[Omega Zues]

omg...i pray it be true.

[happy_gilmore]

IMHO, demon's souls > diablo 2

[shinobi333]

if this is tru i would go nutz i bought the asian copy and bought the collecters edition here in the states. god let be true.

[kanetheking]

fap fap fap ds is my 3rd fav game this gen

[younglj01]

lol because everytime I play I be on a roll and next thing I know im getting butt fuked for 3 hours.Hardest damn game I have ever played and this is my 1st ever RPG game.Cant wait for Demon Souls 2 hope its even harder lmao.

[Allowen]

Getting a plat trophy was not that hard , I did it.
The problem was to see your game invaded by a BP every 2 minutes .... I got tired of that and started to quit the game when that happened.

It is so cool to play coop in DS but for that you are forced to play pvp as well.
That for me was a major problem of the game and for that I give DS a 8.5 /10 instead 10 out 10.

Hopefully in Demon's Souls 2 there will be an option to play online just to see and give tips to other players and play cooperativelly.

[AKS]

1 on 1 you have more health than the invader. In addition, you can invite 2 blue phantoms to help you.

If you can get 2 player-controlled helpers, why shouldn't you face the threat of an invader to help balance the difficulty? You're missing the point of Demon's Souls if you are trying to avoid improving your skills and make the game easier. If you play offline or in soul form, you never have to worry about any invasions.

It's very rare that someone like myself is blessed with a game like Demon's Souls in this era of spoonfeeding and handholding games. If you played 5 minutes of Shadow of the Beast 2 from yesteryear, you'd think Demon's Souls was child's play. Let me have my 1 game that actually presents me with a challenge. There are thousands of other games that pose little to no challenge you can play instead.

[sweettooth]

plzzzzz i want demon soul 2 if GOW 3 & DS2 rleesed in the same day i will pick demon soul over GOW3
sorry my english not perfect

[villevalorox]

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! give me demon"s souls DLC and demon's souls 2!! :) my goty 2009, I want 2 so bad.

[FelicityOldGamer]

Forget about how much cost to import if you are in Europe... just import!

Demons Souls is the kind of game that everybody have to play and enjoy, its a "experience" like no other... its a "magical" game...

Its like Sonic, Mario, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear... its something that just dont happen all the time, if you didnt get the game... just go and get it!

The gameplay, the worlds are so detailed, so unique... you dont know what to wait in the next corner... a Dragon can kill you... a knight that you just cant believe you need some levels to have the skills just kill that guy.. man... I dont have words to explain how great is to play this game... the "surprise factor" always happens in this game...

JUST PLAY THIS GEM!

Talking about the topic...heheheh... I am SOOOOO waiting for the second! :)

PS: I am sorry for some problems with my english... it´s because I am a brazilian gamer , and my english it´s a little rusty.

[The_Nameless_One]

YES YES YES and MORE YES

[Major_Tom]

The Playstation family welcomes this visceral epic RPG sequel where it can only be exclusively found on the PlayStation 3.

[Tex117]

I wish it wasn't a sequal.

I wish it were a game in the same style as Demon's Souls. I don't want the guys at From Software to be limited by the constructs of the first game.

The dude from From Software said a few months ago that he would like to do a game in the same style as Demon's Souls. In other words, it may not be a sequal to DS because the previous contemplates it is not in production.

[Sikct9a]

I'm speechless!

[djtek184]

exclusives are just piling up on the Ps3

[W-k]

i loved demons souls but i hope it has more of a story this time,i really love the game play but there was really no story to it which made it a little dull for me.but it was my 3rd favorite game in 2009 1st being Uncharted 2,2nd being batman arkham asylum

[Meryl]

lol I just imported this by using this site, i got a pretty good deal http://www.videogamesplus.c...
I must admit that Demon Souls is definitely unique, and i have been addicted to it since i picked it up, but I will surely faint if this rumor is true.

[nix]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!! BRING IT I SAY!!! PLEASE!!!

i'm willing to die million times for it!!! q:

[robotnik]

Yesss, that would be awesome news!!! I hope the game is as good as the first or even better. I hope Stockpile Thomas and Blacksmiths Ed and Boldwin are back in Boletaria.

[robotnik]

I hope this is true, Demon's Souls is unique.

[DigitalAnalog]

Maybe, but yes PLEASE!

-End statement

[outlawlife]

just got the first one, so frustrating but I still love it

[PSWarlord]

Why the hell is this not come to europe yet. Ive heard so much good things about DS. Looks like DS2 will hit before we europeans even get are hands on the first one

[OGharryjoysticks]

Sounds stupid. Difficulty wasn't what made Demon's Souls impressive. If they think that just by making the game impossible in terms of difficulty it will make the game good then everybody should be prepared for a major let down.

[jay2]

Just bloody bring the first one to the EU you nasty people! we're not some fing poor 2nd class country, get your bums in to gear!

[robotnik]

The game is listed in Play.com but it doesn't have a release date... I suggest you to import it, I did it and got the Korean version. I may buy the EU version if it ever come here.

[Anon7349]

Everyone that didn't say Demon's Souls was just wrong. Although the multiplat I could take into consideration is bayonetta but that's more of 2010 game anyways.

[Raoh]

sony and atlus and from software must be proud..

demons souls got a few nominations at the gdc awards

[jack_burt0n]

it wont be this year for the west, it will be fall for japan and 2011 for the rest of us.

and europeans remember it has been confirmed for june in the EU for the first game!!!
