Fantasy Action-Adventure The Knightling Gets First Demo

Saber Interactive and indie studio Twirlbound have announced the demo release for The Knightling. The Knightling is an upcoming action-adventure game that mixes exploration, combat, and platforming set inside an open world. The new demo is part of the current Steam Next Fest, and it will give you a chance to experience the opening chapter before the game’s official release later this year on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.

Set in the fantasy world of Clesseia, The Knightling follows the journey of a determined young squire who must step up when the city’s legendary protector, Sir Lionstone, mysteriously vanishes. Armed with the hero’s magical shield, you will embark on a quest to uncover the truth behind his disappearance while defending the city from monsters, bandits, and other foes. With a vibrant semi-open world to explore and a range of powerful shield-based abilities to master, the game promises an exciting blend of fast-paced action and engaging storytelling.

Check out the new Steam Demo Trailer for The Knightling below:

The demo introduces you to the game’s mechanics, offering a hands-on look at movement, platforming, and combat. Running, jumping, and sliding through Clesseia, you will use the shield not just for defense but also as a versatile tool for traversal and offense. Whether blocking incoming attacks, bashing enemies aside, or executing precise parries, the shield plays a central role in the game’s dynamic combat system. The demo also provides a glimpse into the larger adventure, setting the stage for the hero’s journey from humble beginnings to becoming the city’s champion.
