SQUARE ENIX released three playable demos for the upcoming RPG SaGa Emerald Beyond across the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles and PC (STEAM). Players will get the chance to learn more about three of SaGa Emerald Beyond’s core characters and get a head start on the game before launch as demo save data will transfer over to the full game on each respective platform.

The platform-exclusive demos on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC let players explore several hours of three different characters’ storylines:

• Tsunanori Mido (PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4) – A man who can manipulate kugutsu, or animated puppets, protecting the barrier around his home, Miyako City. When all kinds of supernatural phenomena plague the city, Tsunanori embarks on a journey to other worlds to find four elemental spirits to restore order to the spiritual realm.
• Ameya (Nintendo Switch) – A witch-in-training who visits Miyako City and lives in secret as a schoolgirl as a part of her graduation exam. After an unknown person attacks Ameya, she loses practically all of her magical power and must find a way to regain what was lost and pass her final exam.
• Diva No. 5 (PC) – A songstress mech designed to sing and dance from the world of Avalon. After singing a forbidden song, however, Diva’s memory and singing functionality are sealed away, causing her to lose her livelihood and music itself. In her despair, Diva discards her “human” body and, going with the flow, accepts an invitation from a secret society, leaving Avalon behind.

Pre-orders are now open on PC and consoles. SaGa Emerald Beyond is the latest release in the 35-year history of the SaGa Project from SQUARE ENIX.
