Steel Mantis and Silver Lining Interactive released a PC demo for the gothic hack-and-slash Slain 2: The Beast Within on Steam. The game stars Prince Aklan, who wields the sentient sword Basolin and can transform into a werewolf. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions were announced, plus a PS5 physical edition overseas.
Slain 2: The Beast Within puts players in control of Prince Aklan, the last of the Wolfguard, who carries the sentient sword Basolin into battle against Lord Vroll and his demonic army. The game leans on steel, fire, and ice for combat, but when those fail, Aklan can embrace his curse and turn into a werewolf under the full moon.
The demo is live on Steam now. Beyond the PC version, the developers confirmed PS5 and Xbox Series X|S releases, with a PS5 physical edition planned for overseas markets. The full game sends players across haunted seas, a spectral castle, and into the abyss to recover sacred relics and face legendary bosses.
