Atlus Demon’s Souls pre-order bonuses and more

Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today revealed that Demon’s Souls will now be a part of their “Atlus Spoils” fan appreciation program.

In addition to the standard version of the game, which now features new North-American exclusive box art, there will also be a deluxe edition.  For less than it costs to import the game, fans will receive a 150+ page strategy guide (only available as part of this deluxe edition), and a collectible outer slip case along with the game.

Also, fans who pre-order either version will receive a free bonus art book with designs and concept sketches from the world of Demon’s Souls.

“Atlus Spoils is all about giving back to our fans and thanking them for their support, and we’re excited to be able to do something very special for Demon’s Souls,” stated Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Atlus. “On October 6th, PLAYSTATION 3 system owners will be treated to the definitive release of what many consider to be the most innovative action RPG in recent memory. With both the standard and deluxe versions of the game accompanied by irresistible North American exclusives, like a special pre-order bonus art book, we hope this is an offer patient Demon’s Souls fans will be hard-pressed to resist.”

Demon’s Souls is a PLAYSTATION 3 exclusive and scheduled for release in North America on October 6, 2009.  The standard version will cost $59.99, and the deluxe edition just an extra 10 dollars for $69.99. Pre-orders for the deluxe edition are scheduled to begin on Wednesday, July 8th.
