If you are someone who uses Steam frequently, then this week shouldn’t be a surprise to you that there are a lot of demos you can play right now. Steam Next Fest is live and well on Steam with many titles you can try out for yourself right now. One game that is on my radar is Edge of Memories. Not only is there a demo for Steam Next Fest, but the Midgar Studio and NACON, the teams behind the game, have shared a trailer to hype the experience.
The demo features a portion of the game’s first chapter and offers nearly two hours of content, giving players an introduction to the main quest, which revolves around tracking down nomads who have been kidnapped by Corrosion monsters.
In addition, the demo includes the first main quest, the first companion character, Ysoris, an introduction to the combat system featuring the first unlockable combos, and the game’s first boss encounter. Players can also experience the game with both Japanese and English voiceovers: Eline is voiced by Yuki Kyoka (Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes / SaGa: Emerald Beyond) in Japanese and Allegra Clark (The Legend of Heroes / Granblue Fantasy: Relink) in English, while Ysoris is voiced by Kousuke Toriumi (Persona 3 / Tales of Vesperia) in Japanese and Edwyn Tiong (Cassette Beasts / Dust: An Elysian Tail) in English.
Edge of Memories is a French-made JRPG developed by Midgar Studio, based in Montpellier. This third-person action RPG offers players an epic adventure on the continent of Avaris, accessible to both longtime fans and newcomers alike. Blending the richness of JRPGs with French animation, the game’s captivating world comes to life through refined art direction and an immersive, evolving soundtrack composed by Cédric Menendez (Edge of Eternity), enhanced by the vocals of Emi Evans (NieR / NieR: Automata) and Marion Schneider (Edge of Eternity / Temtem). The core of the game was developed in collaboration with renowned artists of the genre, including character designer Raita Kazama (Xenoblade Chronicles X) and writer Sawako Natori (NieR), as well as contributions from composers Mariam Abounnasr (Xenoblade Chronicles 3 / ONINAKI) and Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger / Xenogears) on the original soundtrack.
Edge of Memories will launch on PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC Steam in Fall 2026. Try out the demo right now on Steam!
