Atlus has previously planned to shut down the servers for Demon’s Souls on May 31, 2012 after postponing it once in the past. Fortunately, the company has announced that the service will continue in perpetuity.

“We’re incredibly excited to be able to announce that the Demon’s Souls online experience will persist for a while longer,” said Atlus VP of sales and marketing Tim Pivnicny. “While it originally seemed as though it would be unfeasible for us to continue to sustain the servers, a number of developments have made it possible for us to continue to invest in and support our fans as they have continued to invest in and support us and Demon’s Souls. For all the gamers who have yet to discover the game’s amazing online experience, we’re happy to say you can still log on and find out why Demon’s Souls is still regarded by many as one of the finest games of all time.”
