I hope you’re ready for Soul Sacrifice — the demo will be available this afternoon on PSN!
Your first reaction to the demo might be, “Holy moly, this is a LOT of demo!” …And you’d be right! The entire first chapter of the full game is included, all of which is playable with up to three other friends via online or ad-hoc multiplayer. Inafune-san made it a special point for the demo to be quite substantial, as you can read in his comments below:
Soul Sacrifice is a long adventure, with dozens of hours of gameplay. The demo is not only a great way to sample the full experience, but also to let you get a head start on that adventure before the game releases. To that end — this part is important, pay attention! — the save data will carry over to the full game! Not only that, if you do carry over demo save data to the full game, you will receive an exclusive bonus item: “Spirits’ Heart”! It summons a powerful stone golem that will fight for you!
Trying the demo and carrying over your save data is the ONLY way to get “Spirits’ Heart,” so why not give it a shot if you’re already interested in the game?
The Soul Sacrifice demo offers a single player mode AND a multi-player mode. Multi-player can be played via both ad-hoc and online, but please be aware that multi-player and all online features for the demo will be terminated and will no longer be available on April 30th, 2013. After this date, you will still be able to play the demo offline and ad-hoc. Of course, that’s not a problem, since you’ll all be picking up the full game when it launches on April 30th, right? *wink*
Don’t forget to pre-order! Not only do you get three exclusive Magic Offerings and two exclusive costumes, but you’ll also get the Japanese voice-over audio pack for free!
i need to check this with a lawyer, maybe i can sue SCEA for false infomation, lie the costumer and create trauma’s on my human been
serioully sony change for bad, maybe sony need to understand in a bad way too
i never think i gonna be mad just for a demo, but the live surprise you no matter how
The store will only update after we’ve passed 12,000 comments. I’m calling it, right now. :P
Has anyone checked their ps3 or is everybody using the vita to check?
I’m really shocked that IGN has nothing to say about this. Also they’ve been slow on news since this PS Update got broken.
I wish I had a soul to sacrifie
ffffffffhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaarrrrggggggg
KAAAAAAAHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
And to be on topic, Sony never takes this long in silence unless there has been a hack or something. Looks like anyone’s plan to spend their money on PS3 or Vita are shot. But hey, Nintendo has got some nice new releases, they won’t have any problem taking your money. Sony must hate money if they’re keeping us all in the dark like this for so long.
I’ve checked on the PS3, none of the content is there.

I’m using both.And nothing at all in any of them.
If FIFA can’t teach you how to kick a ball, Call of Duty can’t teach you how to use a gun.
lol, that’s a lot of people frustrated since yesterday AFTERNOON, waiting for the demo. More than 5k comments on a single post. That should be a record on PSBlog. For sure, the delay is due to secure the server support on this tons of gamers urging to play Soul Sacrifice. Men, that will be a great multiplayer experience. LETS PRAY THAT THE WAIT IS WORTH AND THE SERVER DOESN’T GET ON “ERROR 37” LIKE HAPPENED TO DIABLO 3!!!!
PSN Y U N SOUL SAC!!!
Well, at least we know why the PSN store is still down and what exactly they’re doing with the “extended maintenance”
“We can confirm that today’s PS Store publish will be delayed due to ongoing scheduled PSN maintenance. The extended PSN maintenance duration is due to intermittent authentication errors experienced during the routine maintenance. We are working quickly to minimize the inconvenience to our customers and will continue to provide updates to the PlayStation community via @PlayStation. We’ll also post updates here as we get them. “
When Europe’s PSN store updates today, before the US’s, that’s when everyone is going to lose it. Well, some people have already lost it. Lol.
Ok now I have 2 comments awaiting moderation. Polygon has an article about this so others know and not just us
EU already got the demo..
dont you all suppose that Sony is being attacked by terrorist, and they are all being taken as hostages?
Sony sacrifices our time and our hope to play th demo before the full game get out, to make us be fools. Congratulaions! You, Sony, are “sacrificing” your reputation too….
@5116
I lost it yesterday when i woke up at 5:00 am and the demo wasn’t there…
almost there.. come on 5120
THIS IS STILL GOING!
Hey a chance to get more people added for Soul Sacrifice. Waiting here at work to download that as soon as it hits.
Want Dragon Fantasy as well.
@5119
Ask the terrorists to release the demo then!
At least this “update” gives me time to save Nanako-chan on Persona 4…
i remember similar case where my hardcore monk was killed by lag, damn u blizzard!!
We’ve done it.. We’ve broken the record for the 3rd most posts on the blog. Is was the Welcome Back blog post from the hacking era.
Way to go!
Good day people! i see you made it to 5000 already. Way to go!
…
I wonder if something went wrong with the Injustice digital game, and if that could be the reason for the delay.
Meanwhile in EU… downloading the SS Demo :trollface:
I want in on this. lol.
And I thought it was a joke that Japan got the Soul Sacrifice demo 2 months prior to launch, and we only get it 2 weeks prior.
**bleep** the rest of us I guess.
Lol, I’ve been watching Samurai Jack.
*It
I can’t believe you people couldn’t even achieve the 7000 comment mark. Let’s keep this train going.
It looks as though I’m having problems downloading much of anything from PSN. Is anybody else having this issue?
WASH AWAY THE ANGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
“I hope you’re ready for Soul Sacrifice — the demo will be available this afternoon on PSN!”

#5134 Woosaah, bro. Wooosaaaah….
MORGAN, GRACE.. EVEN REY

CAN WE PLEASE GET A WORD???
I sure hope Senpai Sony-san notices me this year!
maybe hype for the demo will reach critical mass and when it finally arrives (and hopefully people enjoy it) word of mouth can boost some Soul Sacrifice sales
Let’s come up with a spotify playlist to kill the time.
REM – Losing My Religion.
“Soul Sacrifice: Demo Out Today”
Sony, please change the headline to “Demo Out Eventually” you damn dirty fibbers!
