Vaultbreakers Demo Launches On Steam Under Square Enix Collective
Square Enix began distributing a demo for VAULTBREAKERS, the top-down extraction action RPG developed by Copenhagen studio BetaDwarf, on Steam on October 9, 2026. The demo lets players pick one of two characters, the elven ranger Nymera or the ice-focused warrior Bjornir, and explore the early-game map either solo or in co-op for up to three players. Expeditions send players into a corrupted field to collect ancient relics; anything not carried back to the Safe Haven base is lost. BetaDwarf announced the shadow drop and the publishing deal during the Triple-i Initiative Showcase broadcast. The full version is planned to add a PvPvE mode and five heroes, with the three characters absent from the demo scheduled for an alpha playtest on Steam from October 16 to 23. A release date and price are undecided.
