Atlus: Demon's Souls 2 '100%' Not Happening
The original game's North American publisher makes it clear a new Demon's Souls game is not on the way.
by Chris Pereira FEBRUARY 28, 2014
Rumors of a direct sequel to Demon's Souls appear to be untrue, as the prospect of such a game has been emphatically shot down by publisher Atlus.
In response to a comment on the PlayStation Blog about Demon's Souls 2, Atlus PR Manager John Hardin stated, " can 100% confirm there will NOT be a Demon Souls 2."
Atlus was the publisher of the original Demon's Souls in North America, whereas Sony published it in Japan and continues to own the IP. There has been speculation that Sony could release a sequel, and rumors began circulating last year that Demon's Souls 2 was in the works.
Demon's Souls received a spiritual successor from its developer, From Software, in the form of Dark Souls. That game is now getting a sequel, Dark Souls II, which is due out next month for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. From has indicated its engine was created with next-gen consoles in mind, suggesting Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions could eventually be released in addition to the PC version that is planned.
Demon's Souls has become a cult classic since its release on PlayStation 3 in 2009 due in part to its punishing difficulty. While fans might never get the direct sequel they want, at least they can always return to the original.
