Osaka, Japan, 16th of December, 2024 - Team Ladybug is thrilled to announce that a new demo has dropped for their latest title, the Cyberpunk Metroidvania Blade Chimera. The demo offers a freshly updated experience to offer players that have previously played the Steam Next Fest version and new players alike.



With Blade Chimera releasing soon on the 16th of January, Team Ladybug wants players to be able to try the game for themselves and get a taste of slaying demons in Osaka!

Changes to the demo

Stage 2: Phoenix Gardens is now playable: We received a lot of feedback in June where players said the demo was fun, but they wanted to play more than just Stage 1, and so we’ve added Phoenix Gardens to the new demo, which will provide more places to explore!
Added a new ability to Lux, the Demon Sword: When you’re separated from the Demon Sword, power is charged in the blade. When it returns to you, it creates a shockwave that deals damage along its path. The main characteristic of this game is the action gameplay with the Demon Sword, and the new demo will showcase that even more.
Added a new collectable item: Puzzle Pieces: There are now doors that will only open if you have collected enough Puzzle Pieces. But what will happen if you collect all the Puzzle Pieces in the full game...?

“Other than the new demo, the full game itself is also far more polished and packed with content than what we anticipated with the original August 2024 release date. We’ve added a lot of new gimmicks for Lux, secret bosses, and more! and we’re confident that it’ll be a very enjoyable experience.” Team Ladybug

Game Features:

As the Demon Sword, Lux offers a wide array of utilities. She can perform powerful attacks and shield you from harm, but also act as a platform and even restore objects that were once lost. Use your demonic companion to traverse and survive in a desolate, demon-ridden Osaka.
As Shin defeats demons and levels up, new skills can be unlocked via skill tree. Unlock the "Warp" skill to travel anywhere on the map or a double-jump to get up to higher ledges and explore new locations with ease.
Lux isn't the only weapon in your arsenal. In addition to his main firearm, Shin can wield other weapons such as greatswords and whips. Experiment with a variety of armaments and create your own style of combat.
