Demon's Souls Servers Preparing To Die In February
If the Dark Souls precursor Demon's Souls is on your pile of gaming shame, you may want to get to it sooner than later. According to the game's official Twitter account, the game's online servers are going to go offline early next year.
After 9 years of reoccurring deaths and frustrations, but just as many triumphs of dedication, Demon's Souls online servers will terminate on February 28, 2018. Play online one last time, and share with us your best Demon's Souls moment! pic.twitter.com/knIgmXLqFW

While you'll still be able to play the game even without the online functionality intact, it'll be a different experience. You won't be able to read notes (helpful and otherwise) from other players or see their in-game ghosts, for instance.
Our Take
It's sad to see it go, but there's always the possibility of a remaster or updated version sometime down the line.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
