Details per cluster: what is in and out of the demo skill set and how demo saves carry over.
How big is the demo?
The developers chose level 60 as the cap so players can get a feel for the full loop. Reaching level 60 in one skill — playing optimally — takes roughly 10–12 hours, so hitting the cap in many skills while the demo is live is theoretically possible.
What happens after the demo
The team is still on track for the 2026 Early Access launch. Demo feedback will be reviewed and changes made before a launch window is confirmed. The demo stays up for a few weeks after Next Fest.
