Metal Eden Demo Now Available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X Ahead of May Launch
Metal Eden, the upcoming fast-paced, single-player FPS from developer Reikon Games and publisher Deep Silver, is ramping up excitement ahead of its official release with the launch of a free playable demo across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game is slated for release on May 6, 2025, and the demo, which includes the opening two missions, is available for unlimited access starting today.
