Steam Drops Early Free Slice of Stunning 2026 RPG, Play Now - GAMINGbible

Steam has dropped a free demo for The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon, giving RPG fans an early taste ahead of the PC release on 15 January 2026.

Why it matters

• The RPG space is crowded, and this demo offers a quick way to sample the game’s striking art style and tactical systems before launch.

What you’ll play

• Hybrid real-time and turn-based battles reminiscent of the flow seen in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
• A relationship system that deepens bonds with allies to unlock their full potential.

Story setup

• As the Zemurian continent nears a prophesied end and humanity prepares its first foray into space, an invitation from Marduk draws Van Arkride, Ashen Chevalier Rean Schwarzer, and Father Kevin Graham into a high-tech training exercise. Their paths diverge, but all roads lead to the truth at the core of Zemuria and the question of what lies beyond the horizon.

Platforms and release

• Previously launched on PS4 and PS5 in Japan in September last year.
• PC (Steam) version arrives on 15 January 2026, with a free demo available now on the Steam store page.
