sequel to Demon's Souls announced

Currently titled "Dark Souls". I remember reading an interview where the developers said that the chances for a sequel are slim to none. Well, I guess that must have quickly changed once bags of money were dropped off in their office smile

This was announced a long time ago (though now the title is official).  Just FYI it's Namco publishing this time and it's NOT an official sequel.  Same developer and same general idea, but the worlds are not connected.

I had heard that something was in the works, but this was news to me. I am glad it is a sequel even if not a direct sequel. Well, technically it can't be a sequel if it's not connected story-wise, but for all practical purposes it is a sequel.

My favorite quote from the article:

"Finally, rest assured that Dark Souls will be at least as difficult as its predecessor, if not even more so."

Dark Souls is out!
Looks like the US Collector's Edition has sold out. Copies have already sold on ebay for $120 (dang)!  At any rate, I'm curious if anyone (aside from myself) ordered a copy? Should be a great game, but very time-consuming. I won't open my copy for a while, but will eventually play. As far as I can tell it's basically Demon's Souls once more. Not a bad thing at all.

Lucky! Unfortunately here in the US we only get digital junk... but I ordered a real CD online. Yeah, costs more, but some arsehole decided that the NA release should be digital and... don't get me started!
