To jumpstart Steam Next Fest next week, Idea Factory International released a demo for Ariana and The Elder Codex. The demo is also live on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. The demo introduces Librarian Ariana’s mission and drops the player inside the Codex of Earth, one of The Seven Hero Codices accessible early in the full game.
Use various magic spells and abilities to traverse the Codex, which brings earth magic to the world, battling enemies as you make your way to the guardian of the Codex of Earth, the Colossus of Catastrophe.
Ariana and the Elder Codex launches in North America and Europe physically and digitally for PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch on March 24, 2026, and on Steam in Spring 2026. Fans can preorder the physical Standard Edition at IFI Online Stores and participating retailers to receive a bookmark bonus item while supplies last.
