Slave Zero X Confirms Steam Next Fest Demo Will Happen
You'll have a chance to try out Slave Zero X during Steam Next Fest as a free demo will be released on February 6th.
Ziggurat Interactive and Poppy Works confirmed this week they will have a free demo for Slave Zero X during February's Steam Next Fest. The game has had demos out in the wold for people to try, as we got to play a little bit of it during PAX West 2022. But for the most part, they have been working on it to make sure it's good to go when they finally slap a release date on it. Well, now you might get to try a better version of what we played, as the demo will come out on February 6th.
"From the top of Megacity S1-9, the Sovereign Khan rules with fists of iron and flesh. Beneath the city's rotting foundations, a vengeful warrior embarks on a journey to murder him. 4 years prior to the events of Slave Zero, Slave Zero X brings new life to a world where horrific, living machines known as Slaves are primed to become the latest tools of war in humanity's long and bloody history. A secret band of warriors known as The Guardians hope to stop these biomecha from being unleashed upon the world, but one swordsman among their ranks has a different idea: use the enemy's own weapon against them. By merging with a stolen Slave Unit Prototype, Shou will become a furious Devil in pursuit of killing a false God."
