What's included

- All four classes, each with both weapons
- PvP channels from the start: switch at a Nui Statue without progressing the story first
- The new dungeon Throne of Hinnon, a tough high-level dungeon
- Kill log and PvP achievements
What's missing
- Parts of the life content, including housing and trade
- The full scope of the game
Tips for the demo
- Try both weapons of your class; they play very differently.
- Throne of Hinnon is no easy clear with demo progression. A good test of whether your first build holds up.
- If you want to try PvP: the switching cooldown prevents quick escapes, so plan when you switch.
- Add the game to your Steam wishlist to hear about the Early Access launch.
As of 18 October 2026, before Early Access. Numbers and skills may still change before launch.
