A demo for SaGa Emerald Beyond will arrive at midnight local time on Thursday, April 4, 2024 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. The Steam version is scheduled for 9:00am Pacific the same day. The demo comes mere weeks away from the game’s official launch on April 25th, and will let you carry save progress into the retail version.

Based on your platform of choice, the demo will include three different protagonists. PlayStation users will get Tsunanori Mido, Nintendo Switch gets Ameya Aisling, and Steam gets Diva No. 5.

The latest tile in the SaGa series, Emerald Beyond is a RPG with branching stories and turn-based combat. Select one of six protagonists as the travel to different worlds guided by the Emerald Waves that connect them. The scenario will change drastically based on the character you choose and the decisions you make.

You’ll be able to recruit a wide variety of characters, and battles will require you to consider which characters to bring along, their formation, and each individual action as it proceeds through a timeline. Using different attacks to manipulate the timeline is at the core of the battle system, much like its predecessor, 2016’s SaGa Scarlet Grace.

SaGa Emerald Beyond will also release on iOS and Android on April 25th, 2024.
