Master explosive combat and fluid parkour in the free demo
Starting October 1, players can experience the free demo of Elta: The Godless across all platforms (Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series). The demo offers 45 to 60 minutes of gameplay, casting you as Victus, a monk warrior embarking on a journey to find the lost Dragon God. This adventure features precise martial arts combos, tight platforming, and sci-fi exploration. At the end of this introductory journey, players will face their first boss battle in an epic showdown against "The Chosen of Kanloa."
Pre-orders are now open
With the demo's release, pre-orders have opened ahead of the official launch on February 2, 2027. In an era of rising game prices, the team aims to respect players' time and budgets, offering a complete experience lasting 15 to 20 hours. Ian Cofino, co-founder and game director at Afterburner Studios, stated: "We hope this pricing allows more players to experience the full game after trying the free demo."
All pre-order customers will receive the pre-order bonus [Vanguard Armor DLC]—an exclusive cosmetic skin for the protagonist. This ceremonial armor, once worn in the Celestial War, was designed to intimidate enemies.
Elta: The Godless will officially launch on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 on February 2, 2027. Try the free demo now, pre-order the game, and follow Focus Entertainment's official channels for the latest updates!
