Soul Sacrifice: Demo Out Today, Saves Transfer to Full Game

Soul Sacrifice on PS Vita

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:

“The number one reason for the Soul Sacrifice demo to have a lot of content was to show the users the full attraction of Soul Sacrifice. We knew that cutting out a small section of the game and saying, ‘Isn’t this part fun?’ would not show the users the full potential of the game. We figured that it wouldn’t make sense if the users could not have the ‘I want to play more’ feeling.

“So, we decided we want to provide, ‘at the very least,’ this amount of the game for the users. That is why, if you compare it to a standard demo, this became such a substantial piece. But we are confident that this will not become something negative where the users will feel like, ‘We played enough.’ After we released the demo version in Japan we received many voices, saying ‘[I] want to play more’ and ‘I want to get more hooked on this game.’ That is why we believe making this demo with this amount of volume and detail was a success.”

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!

  • nintendo is dominating twitter right now with all their reveals….wish we could of had soul sacrifice trending….

  • You all know that Injustice was not a day one digital title, a day one digital title you can pre order on the store and download it at midnight the morning of release. Injustice was supposed to be available yesterday when they updated the store.

  • 6000 ftw!

  • guys its ok, they apologized

  • Holy crap! Still NO DEMO!

  • All I want to do is enjoy this before I go to work tonight

  • This is definitely a PR stunt!!!

  • I had a choice between the vita and the wii u. I chose the vita because I thought sony was gonna do more with it. This is kinda making me regret my decision.

  • @5352
    Actions speak louder than words.
    …and some people hear better than others.

  • I’ve been complaining about this delay since yesterday,and just now i realised this:On the last picture of this post,on the bottom right hand corner,the icon on the triangle button:Is that condom?

  • 6000 comments?…seems legit..

  • I really hope that after the demo is up and we all get it, it turns out to be the greatest Rickroll ever!

  • LMAO getting hate messages on PSN. OMG looks like I have struck some nerves. You all are to funny

  • Well, Sony can thank Nintendo for providing some news for the media to chew on and not report on the PSN issues!

  • Nothing yet?
    Damn it, all I want is the demo.

  • All the crappy games come out no problem as soon as a true psv capable of giving us all what we expected when we bought this overpriced simulator.. And they can’t even make us happy with an early Wednesday update

  • I got SS pre ordered already and plan on getting the demo, if anyone wants to play together add me

  • @5360 i got a psn buddy in EU playing it now..he says its EPIC…i believe him too, he’s honest about his opinion on games..

  • No zombies on cod.. It’s like a bad dream

  • I could of sworn last week I saw Injustice under the Day 1 Digital on the store. It’s still sucks for the people who only wanted the digital copy to not get it day one. It’s Sony’s loss in the end. You bet sony is going to do something about that. Not for a demo, but they will about that.

  • Oh well, I’m gonna go play Persona 3 Portable. Will somebody update when the blasted update is available?!

  • ~ knock knock ~
    ~ whos there ~
    ~ soul sacrifice demo~
    ~ soul sacrifice demo who?~
    ~ orange you glad I didn’t say banana?~

  • We get a trophy when we hit 10000 everybody just put random quotes or jokes

  • Still “6 results” from “Soul Sacrifice” search bar. Now what?!

  • 5369, I’m one of those Injustice fans that wanted it digital day one! What do you mean they will do something about that? I doubt they’ll give anything out for free after losing an entire day of sales

  • In other news I now have a full friend list

  • I think that everyone really should start demanding for a set time for PSN to be updated. That way, if we don’t get the update by that time (and I’m talking about a window of an hour) we know something is wrong. Instead of waiting and waiting, only to be told hours later, because they have the comfort room of many hour to even inform us that something went wrong.

  • In the words of master ninja splinter,
    Go ninja go ninja go!

  • lets just face it. the psn got hacked again

  • You can get a status from Twitter for Playstation. (You can browse this one without having a Twitter account).

  • Please add me guys.. I need vita friends.. Will be playing ss tons

  • lol
    happpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppy

  • US PSN is just ran by monkeys.

  • @5377
    So the hackers wanted to beef up their characters first? :P

  • wow…. it’s still not updated? I mean, I can see going past 10pm last night, but we’re already at 10am the following day… This is really pathetic, especially for such an integral moment in Vita gaming. Really shows us consumers where Sony’s priorities are…. and they’re not with the Vita.

  • @LilPoison05 no sony did

  • Morning everyone. So we passed 4000 and 5000 since ive been gone. Lets continue to the record and higher. OVER 9000!!!!!

  • Spamming comments for the sake of it won’t send the message that we hate this incompetency of NA PSN store update.

    Make yourselves heard on how you feel about this and demand explanation and consistency. We’ve had to put up with BS for the past few years, its time we get a proper fixed time for when store gets updated instead of them taking their sweet time every goddamn week. How hard can it be on time once a week?

    I’m out, time to sleep. Been checking this blog for the past 18hrs now ffs.

  • I wonder what mr inafune or ms yuasa have to say about this

  • Breaking news! Fans gather on Playstation Blog to sacrifice Sony!

  • @5383
    Lvls will never lose to our superior skill!

  • compensate please

  • “PS Store publish will be delayed due to ongoing PSN maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience – stay tuned for updates” ¬¬

  • I think they should do these ‘Maintenance” days on Wednesdays. That way they’d have 6 days to fix it before the Tuesday Game update. Doing this might postpone movies & music when there is a problem but then again, you can get movies from Amazon or somewhere else also. And, if you listen to music then you probably have a huge library to listen to while you wait anyway. =p

  • Add me

  • i can’t believe this is over 5k comments

  • Add me

  • Add me people.

  • I don’t want free games.

    but foramusements sake I would love Sony to give everyone involved some special avatar, just a 5k related something, anything. Just for fun. Anyone who posted. Or add amini game nothing amazing just a jab at the crazy forum rantings that happened here over the past day or so

  • 6000 is meeee
