Clouded Leopard Entertainment will be releasing the demo version of Relayer, Kadokawa Games‘ upcoming robot SRPG, on PS4 and PS5 for all regions, except Japan. It will be available from midnight local time, 26 February 2022. The full release is planned for 24 March 2022 worldwide.
The Relayer demo will allow you to play up to Episode 7 of the main story, 12 Battle Simulator stages, experiment with the Star Cube character development system, the shop and the ship menu. You will be able to carry over your save data to the full version so that you can continue playing from Chapter 8 onwards. Maximum unit level in the demo is 30, and you cannot earn trophies. You will be able to transfer your PS4 demo save data to the PS5 full version.
One last restriction is that the demo is only playable if your console language is Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese or Korean. You will need to switch to any of these prior to playing the demo. Subtitles in French, Italian, German and Spanish will be implemented at a later date.
Do check out our interview with Kadokawa Games’ CEO Yoshimi Yasuda regarding Relayer here! If you’re wondering what the game is, here’s its overview:
A next-generation robot SRPG set in a sci-fi alternate reality, in which Starchildren—humans who have been granted special abilities—take on an extraterrestrial threat known as the Relayers.
Command a squadron of Stellar Gear, humanoid weapons developed from the technology of ancient alien civilizations, to defend Earth from the invading Relayer aliens. Approximately 100 unique cutscenes play during battles throughout the game, and stage maps are all illustrated in high-quality, full 3D.
Relayer also features exciting special attacks such as Backstab and the Big Bang. Players must use a wide range of strategies in order to lead the Starchildren to victory!
