Kristala Xbox Demo Launch Details - Plus PS5 Success & Upcoming Events

Happy Friday, Travelers!

We’re thrilled to officially announce that the Kristala demo for Xbox Series X|S will launch on Wednesday, December 3rd at 12am EST.

We recently passed Microsoft’s certification process after just two rounds (a rare and exciting milestone for an indie studio like ours!), and we’re incredibly proud to finally be nearing this exciting milestone.

With certification now complete, we can now bring the world of Ailur to our incredible Xbox players, and we can’t wait for you to sink your claws into our feline-driven, Soulslike-inspired ARPG adventure.

🎮 A Look Back: Kristala’s PS5 Demo Soars

Before we head into the Xbox launch, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the overwhelming support we’ve received from PlayStation players since our PS5 demo dropped earlier this month.

Since its initial debut on November 12th:

• The PS5 demo has consistently held a position in the Top 5 Most-Downloaded demos on the PlayStation Store (we’re not crying, you’re crying)

• We’ve gotten some incredible community feedback from players praising our movement system, combat feel, environmental design, and boss encounters

• And best of all…many of you faithful Kristalans have returned for multiple runs (you know who you are—THANK YOU!)

  
  

The positivity, energy, and excitement surrounding the PS5 demo has been both humbling and invigorating for our whole team. We can’t thank you enough and can’t wait to hear from our Xbox family.

🎥 Coming SOON: More Celebratory Events

In addition to the hype surrounding console demos, we’re excited to announce that Kristala will be featured in a few epic upcoming events, including:

• Next week’s Minimap GOTY Livestream event, airing December 4^th at 9pm EST—keep an eye out for our trailer!

• The upcoming Women-Led Games Showcase: The Game Awards Edition, where we’ll be unveiling a major announcement about Kristala’s full release.

Stay tuned! You definitely don’t want to miss out on what’s in store.

Whether you’re slashing through the PS5 demo, waiting eagerly for the Xbox launch, or cheering us on from afar…thank you! Your passion for the world of Ailur is what makes Kristala what it is.

We’ll see you on December 3rd, Xbox players! May the Kristals continue to guide you.
