The Flame-wielding Metroidvania 'Nocturnal 2' Releases its Demo this January 27 on Steam


Lausanne, Switzerland - January 7 2026
- Indie game developer Sunnyside Games is happy to announce the arrival of the demo of its upcoming flame-wielding metroidvania Nocturnal 2 this January 27 on Steam. With over one hour of gameplay, the demo will allow players to explore an early section of the game, unlock abilities, experience the combat system, and discover elements of the lore. It has been carefully adapted to avoid major lore or structure spoilers from the full release, which is planned to launch later this year on Nintendo Switch and Steam.


Nocturnal 2 is an atmospheric Metroidvania in which you play as Ardeshir, bearer of the Enduring Flame, who sets out to explore the dark depths and towering heights of the forgotten city of Ytash in order to break the curse that has consumed his homeland
