Yes. Auroch Digital’s FAQ says a Steam-exclusive demo is live. That source does not establish that a demo is available on PlayStation or Xbox.
What has been announced about the sequel?
A Steam announcement lists purity seal collectibles, pixel-art cinematics, new taunts for both characters, and a Mick Gordon track among the sequel’s additions. These are announced features; they are not hands-on assessments of how the game plays.
