Enter if you dare, Knight.
We're thrilled to share that our first ever playable demo for KILL KNIGHT will release later this month. From May 30 (10 AM AEST / 1 AM BST/ 4 PM May 29 PDT), and throughout the June Edition of Steam Next Fest, players can dive guns-first into the Abyssal Keep and experience KILL KNIGHT’s visceral top-down combat.
The demo will feature the first Layer - “Solitude” - teeming with low-level abyssal creatures inside a shifting, brutalistic arena. Several pieces of Equipment will be available in the demo, including unlockables like the pistols “Exhausters” and the heavy weapon “Rectifire” - it’s up to you to complete goals and decide what equipment suits you best. This is but a small taste of the vast arsenal of Equipment you can unlock throughout the full game. More details are available in Demo FAQ’s below!
Your carnage and bloodshed will not go unnoticed. The demo will also feature an early look at the global leaderboards, alongside a custom KILL KNIGHT PC giveaway and Steam keys for top players throughout the demo period, so be sure to stay tuned in Discord and on KILL KNIGHT social channels for more details. Further information regarding the leaderboard challenges will be revealed on May 29.
Damnation awaits…
