Dark Souls releases tomorrow in Japan, and according to Japanese blog Esuteru, gamers with an early copy are in for a surprise.
In order to punish those who have the game early, From Software will take advantage of a feature that allows players to move into other worlds. The publisher has sent max-level Black Phantoms into the worlds of early gamers, confronting them with an enemy that's impossible to beat.

As shown in the photo, the Phantoms are level 145, with 1900 HP and every stat set to the maximum of 99. There's no word on if the enemies will be removed upon the game's official release.

Dark Souls will release in North America on October 4.
