This week Atlus revealed their holiday surprise for Demon's Souls. Starting on Monday, they'll be launching a Pure White Tendency Event for the PS3 RPG.

"Pure White Tendency" means that the enemies are weaker, and players are stronger. Pure Black Tendency means the opposite. The Tendency of the game world determines what NPC's are around and what areas are accessible, too. A full rundown of the exact differences can be found at the Demon's Souls wiki.

The Pure White Tendency Event begins on Monday, December 21st at 12 PM PST. It ends at about the same time on the 28th. Those of you who get Demon's Souls from Santa will thus be introduced to the game in a gentler context.
