Demo History
Official Steam community posts show that the demo was part of the pre-release cycle. The demo history should stay separate from full-release patch notes because demo hotfixes do not prove launch-build behavior, balance, prices or routes.
Demo Vs Full Release
| Topic | Demo | Full release |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Current playable status is Not verified yet. | Steam lists September 11, 2026 as the planned release date. |
| Content scope | Demo scope may not match launch scope. | Final product list, prices, upgrades and build version are Not verified yet. |
| Co-op | Historical demo discussion mentions co-op, but current demo availability is Not verified yet. | Steam confirms online 4-player co-op on the full-game store page. |
| Data use | Good for historical context only unless directly rechecked. | Launch-build data should be recorded after release with source and lastVerified. |
Save Transfer Status
Demo save transfer is Not verified yet. Community discussions asked about continuing from demo saves, but this wiki has not verified an official answer from Steam news or the store page.
Do not promise that demo saves carry over, and do not tell players to delete or preserve save files as a confirmed route until an official answer or launch-build test exists.
What To Recheck
- Whether Steam shows a demo download action on the main store page.
- Whether the separate demo app can be opened and downloaded.
- Whether an official announcement confirms demo availability before release.
- Whether demo saves transfer to the September 11, 2026 full release.
- Whether demo systems match the launch build.
