Death is Only the Beginning – Seraphic Hack n' Slash Ember and Blade Slices into Steam Next Fest this October

Forge weapons, wield blessings, and decimate demons in the brand new extended demo - start slaying October 3rd

[Seoul, South Korea - September 29, 2025] — Ember and Blade, is descending from the heavens into Steam Next Fest this October with an expanded demo! The new demo invites players into Act 2 for the first time, introducing two new angels (Ramiel and Galiliel), one new daunting boss (Arcanus, The Faceless), the Meta-Progressions mechanic, and the secretive Shay’s Hideout. Aspiring demon hunters will also get the chance to dive deeper into Ember and Blade’s narrative. Players can dive in for a hellish good time ahead of Next Fest with the demo dropping on October 3rd!



Step into the boots of Fenrix, a demon hunter cursed with immortality by an angel who’d rather dang one man than see the archdemon Asmodeous rise again. Every descent into the Sanctuary of Oblivion is an opportunity to wield your cycle of rebirth to your advantage. Your curse is your weapon: die, return, and carve a new path until fate itself bends to your will.

But angels aren’t your only allies. Meet twin clay golems Keke and Pea! Keke will help you forge new tools for your weaponry in the Sanctuary’s Magic Forge. Players will be able to choose from two different weapon categories based on their personal playstyle: the hammer for big, heavy strikes, or the twin daggers for fast and agile combos. Pea, the mischievous twin, creates powerful relics that grant Fenrix strength on the battlefield. Don’t forget Fenrix’s loyal cat companion, Lumi, who is always around to provide helpful tips!
