Japanese demo for Armored Core 5 time sensitive, online and offline play

From Software’s Armored Core 5 will receive a demo January 19th but it will only be in operation until the 23rd, for both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network with on and offline modes.

The online mode however won’t function until the 21st when servers get switched on. A tutorial and story missions cater to offline gamers. No confirmation for a Western demo yet.
