Is there a Demo?

There is no demo released globally. However, gamers who were able to attend the Gamescon or the S-Party were able to try the demo.

What the Demo Contains

The demo covers the gameplay, and players are able to explore a portion of the map. Some players were able to play the game for an hour.

Tutorial can be skipped

The player has the option to choose whether to start with a tutorial or skip it. The tutorial covers movement and combos.

Exploration

The players are able to explore a portion of the map. Some areas are blocked by a white cloudy wall. The player can jump, sprint, crouch, and climb. For climbing, it seems to be only for certain areas that have "traversal moves."

Switching weapons

While in combat, the player can switch weapons. Switching weapons refills your "Sha-Chi" bar (bar below your HP at the bottom left). Sha-chi allows you to execute combos. It also features secondary weapons called "Phantom Edges."

Blocking, Parrying, Dodging

Blocking, parrying, and dodging are all available. Parry a Brutal Move with a blue indicator to perform Ghostep while blocking consumes Sha-Chi.

Extreme Mode

The Extreme Mode called the Hellwalker can be played during the demo. This is also readily available on the full version of the game.

There is a pre-load available on October 26, 2026. Be sure to have enough space to pre-load the game.
