North American video game publisher ATLUS USA have today announced that their award-winning (and challenging) action RPG Demon’s Souls is now available to purchase on the Playstation Network for $19.99.
To celebrate this digital release, ATLUS USA are hosting a World Tendency Event for one week starting today and ending on 1/14/13, setting the servers to Pure White. For those unfamiliar with the game or needing a refresher, Pure White Tendency brings a number of changes to the gameplay. The online world will be adjusted to an easier difficulty setting, where enemies will have decreased HP, attack power, and defense, while players will inflict more damage when attacking.
Pure White Tendency is an occurrence in the game and often requires quite a bit of time to achieve through normal gameplay, so this is a great way for newcomers to learn the gameplay and immerse themselves in the world of Demon’s Souls. Additionally, enemies will drop fewer upgrade stones and more healing items. New areas and special NPCs will also be open; players just need to know where to find them.

King Allant the XII, the last king of Boletaria, searched tirelessly to expand his might.

A mighty demon horde poured into the kingdom, devouring the souls of men.Champions from other realms learned of Boletaria’s fate and sought to deliver the kingdom from evil; none would return from the cursed land. Called upon by a mysterious maiden in black, you go forth, the last hope for humanity in a place lost to demons and darkness…
