Brigandine: Abyss PC Demo Released

NIS America and Happinet have released a PC demo for tactical RPG Brigandine: Abyss, the upcoming follow-up to 2020 series revival Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia. The demo is available on Steam and lets players go through the first two chapters of the Gran Dragnica and Scarlet Will story campaigns. A demo for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 is planned to follow at a later date. Save data from the demo cannot be transferred to the full game, which releases worldwide on PC via Steam on August 26 (August 27 in Japan), 2026, and for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 on August 27, 2026.

In addition to the demo, NIS America announced that the game’s physical Limited Edition bundle is available to pre-order now from its online store. The Limited Edition is available on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, priced at $89.99 and containing an art book, a 3-CD soundtrack, a set of acrylic character stands, a faction symbol pin set, and a cloth map.

Brigandine: Abyss is set in a brand-new world where hundreds of years prior, the Abyssloa Empire was stopped by the power of the arcane Brigandine. However, a new empire rises, seeking to conquer the world. The game offers six different story campaigns as they attempt to stand against the empire while managing their resources. In addition to the story campaigns, the game also features a Missions Mode, which lets players control one of twenty-four factions, each with their own win conditions. Gameplay is divided into two phases and retains the series’ traditional hex-grid maps. The Organization Phase lets players organize troops and resources, while the Attack Phase sees units take to the field.
