Square Enix has announced the first demo for Babylon's Fall is coming February 25. The demo will be open to all PlayStation 4 and 5 owners, and offers players a chance to experience the opening section of Platinum Game's latest title, as well as test out its four player co-op.

While the combat is still relatively fast-paced, the game looks quite a bit weightier than both Bayonetta and Nier: Automata, and boasts a more high-fantasy setting. Also unlike previous Platinum Game's titles, Babylon's Fall cannot be played offline, making it the studio's first live-service title.
