Newcastle, UK – February 7, 2025: Choose your weapon and step forward into the unknown, as today we’re excited to announce an extensive demo for upcoming action RPG Empyreal, available from 24th February as part of Steam Next Fest.

Find out more about what awaits in the first episode of our behind-the-scenes series, where the team at Silent Games talk about the setting and story of the game, along with character customisation and combat. The feature gives players an introduction to the three weapon archetypes, and the unique combinations that can be achieved by choosing particular equipment and abilities.



There’s a lot to explore in the Empyreal Steam Next Fest demo, including the chance to try out all three weapon archetypes and a selection of armour sets and abilities. Players will be able to explore two distinct locations and even get an early peek at some late-game gear for a taste of the rarer loot waiting to be discovered when the full game launches later in 2025.  

For more information, wishlist Empyreal on Steam and stay tuned to Secret Mode’s social channels for the latest updates.
