Dark Souls developer 'From Software' has admitted that game development has been slowed by PSN down time which has now reached three weeks.

The game's producer Kei Horono told MCV "It has impacted us and held the team back a bit," in an interview at Namco Bandai's Level Up event in Dubai.

"But we will be out in early October. We won't miss that."

Dark Souls isn't the only game to be suffering at the hands of PSN downtime however.  Online heavy games like the recently released Brink have become all but impossible to play to their full potential and Portal 2 owners are unable to play with their friends over their PS3 or even activate their free Steam copy until PSN comes back on line.

Sony have announced that they plan to have the service fully rolled out by 31st May with online gaming being the first feature to return.


Dark Souls is the spiritual successor to Demon Souls and will be available on Xbox 360 and PS3 in, you guessed it, October 2011.
