You may have heard the PS3 RPG Demon's Souls is a pretty hard game. If you can test with the best though, publisher Atlus has a challenge for you this Halloween weekend, whereby it will be made even more difficult, but with even better loot to be had:

"Early reports from the Kingdom of Boletaria indicate that the Old One's power grows," announced Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales for Atlus, shuffling awkwardly under the weight of his full set of fluted armor. "We've discovered that the nefarious Demon will seek to descend the land in pure blackness on All Hallow's Eve. His minions will be more powerful, but the rewards for those who seek to challenge them will be greater as well. We don't know how long this dark tendency will last, but we do advise those prone to controller-into-LCD syndrome to proceed carefully." Jabbari then cackled as he quickly put a Thief's ring on his finger and disappeared.

"Whyyy?" you may be screaming to yourself. Jabbari adds on his Twitter account, "Because your tears are delicious."

Pillage heureux!
