“The demo takes place from the very beginning of the game when Eve, a member of the 7th Airborne Squad is sent to Earth on a mission to reclaim the planet from the Naytiba, up to the first boss fight,” writes the game’s director, Kim Hyung Tae, about the demo. “This first stage will include the tutorial phase to help you familiarize yourself with basic combat features as you explore post-war Eidos 7, a human city now infested by the Naytiba, giving you an early grasp of gameplay mechanics that will serve you throughout the game’s story. We also have a little surprise included for players who complete the first stage.”
It is added that the demo will be complete with 60 FPS combat as well as DualSense haptics. Meanwhile, those who complete the demo will be able to transfer their save data to the full game when it releases next month.
