It’s official: your journey into Empyreal begins this month when our first playable demo arrives during Steam Next Fest.
To get you ready for your expedition into the Monolith, Silent Games has released the first episode of its behind-the-scenes series. Co-founders Joseph Rogers (Creative Director) and Sally Blake (CEO) are joined by Finlay McDonald (Gameplay Programmer) as they explore the mysterious Monolith on a hitherto unexplored world, and explain how you'll be fighting ancient automatons and searching for long-forgotten secrets in the upcoming demo.
"Empyreal is a true RPG and is meant to be explored with that level of depth. The three distinct playstyles are supported by over 50 different abilities and hundreds of stats. With dozens of armour sets and cosmetic items on offer, there's going to be a lot of customisation options available to players to find and refine what works for them."
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.
