We are only a few weeks away from the release of Square Enix’s upcoming action RPG SaGa Emerald Beyond on April 25and there’s good news for those curious about this as it’s been announced that a free demo will be hitting the Switch eShop tomorrow (April 4).
The demo will be available from midnight local time and will give you a glimpse of what’s in store for the next entry in the long-running series.
We’re not exactly sure what the demo will contain, but we can expect to see at least some of the 17 worlds the game is set in, and hopefully a handful of the protagonists. Square Enix does indeed claim that Emerald Beyond has “the most branching plot of any game in the SaGa series,” so there’s a good chance the demo could be worth a few playthroughs.
The game first appeared in a Nintendo Direct showcase in September 2023 before being given an April release date late last year. Square Enix has been busy sharing recap videos of the protagonist since this post, the latest of which he introduced us to the ‘dismal king’ Siugnas.
