Originally due to close in October ahead of the release of Dark Souls, players will be able to continue sharing tips, viewing ghosts and invading games into 2012.
Atlus public relations manager Aram Jabbari said: "While it comes at significant cost to us and although it has been over two years since the game revolutionised the notion of multiplayer and online functionality in an RPG, our commitment to the game and the fans that turned it into an incredible success remains as strong as ever.
"While the reality is that one day the servers will ultimately close due to operation and maintenance costs, that day is not today, nor will it be this year."
European publisher Namco Bandai is yet to confirm whether it plans to offer the same service, reports Eurogamer.
Sequel Dark Souls will be released on October 4 in North America and October 7 in Europe for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
