Atlus bringing Demon's Souls to US

Sony America brings word via Twitter that Demon's Souls is on its way West this autumn.

"Our friends at Atlus [have] just informed us: they're bringing Demon's Souls to North America this fall. Look for updates at E3!" reads the post.

Demon's Souls, which picked up a 9/10 review on Japanese import, is a vast action RPG developed by From Software.

Or, as we put it this time last month, "Demon's Souls is absolutely compelling; dark, detailed, unforgiving, creatively cruel. It gets under your skin and becomes a personal obsession, daring you to probe further into its worlds, fall for more of its traps and overcome more of its impossible challenges; it slaps you in the face with your own incompetence and dares you to overcome it."

There's no word on a European version - Atlus doesn't publish directly over here - but the absence of region-locking on PS3 games means that anybody whose interested was pique by the Japanese release can start counting the days anyway.
