It looked like next week was going to be the last hurrah for the online component of Demon’s Souls. But publisher Atlus has announced that they’re going to be keeping the servers online for their hit PS3 hit for as long as they can.
On May 25, Japanese role-playing game Persona is getting a porno parody called Perofella. The suspense must be killing you.
As of today, George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire saga has a new chapter. It’s not a chapter in a book, however, nor is it bonus footage from HBO’s wildly popular adaptation, Game of Thrones. Nope, it’s a video game.
The upcoming, and very lovely-looking Dragon’s Crown, has two websites, one for Japan, one for the US. Both are almost identical in design except for one thing: character art.
Yeah, sure, fine, there are a lot of great new games out right now. But for some reason, Persona 3 has captured the hearts and minds of not one but two Kotaku editors: Me (Kirk) and our resident JRPG expert Jason Schreier.

Sentai Filmworks surprised fans at Anime Boston this weekend by announcing that the original English voice cast for Persona 4 would be reprising their roles for the North American release of the anime based on the PlayStation 2 role-playing game. Even more surprised were the voice actors themselves.
Atlus has become one of my favourite video game publishers over the past few years. Not only do they localise almost every role-playing game they develop, they always show a willingness to take risks on crazy ideas — something that is very rare in the gaming industry.
