In the purest JRPG tradition, Edge of Memories begins with an animated intro. Directed by Yukio Takatsu (Persona 3) and voiced in English by Marion Schneider (Edge of Eternity™, Temtem™ series) and in Japanese by Emi Evans (NieR™ / NieR: Automata™), it offers a glimpse of the continent of Avaris, ravaged by the Corrosion, and its people in distress, as well as the main protagonists: Eline, a courageous Soul Whisperer; her makeshift mentor Ysoris, and Kanta, a prince-shaman from a forgotten tribe. Together, they will face numerous dangers and monsters spawned by the Corrosion, as well as terrifying antagonists such as the sinister Ziegler.
The new demo lets players experience the latest improvements to the game. Taking the community’s valuable feedback into account, this trial version offers combat that feels even more dynamic and impactful. It also includes numerous improvements to gameplay and accessibility, such as options to remap controller buttons and disable motion blur, providing an optimized gaming experience as you explore the first few hours of the adventure.
Blending the richness of JRPGs with French animation style, the game's mesmerizing universe comes to life through a carefully crafted art direction and an immersive, evolving soundtrack 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 designed in collaboration with renowned genre artists, including character designer Raita Kazama (Xenoblade Chronicles™ X) and writer Sawako Natori (NieR™), with the participation of composers Mariam Abounnasr (Xenoblade Chronicles™ 3 / ONINAKI™) and Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger® / Xenogears™) on the original soundtrack.
The new demo of Edge of Memories is now available on Steam.
The game will be available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on December 3 2026, and starting December 1 as a pre-order bonus for the Deluxe Edition (console only).
