One of the more interesting games to come out of Square Enix’s E3 2021 showcase over the weekend was the official reveal of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. A collaboration with Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja, players will join a trio of heroes in an action-heavy battle against familiar Final Fantasy foes and ultimate villains in an effort to kill the heck out of chaos. The game will be coming sometime in a 2022 release window, but players can actually enjoy a taste of what Stranger of Paradise has to offer now. There’s a demo for the game. Here are the details on how to get it.

The demo for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin was actually put out the moment the game was revealed at Square Enix’s E3 2021 showcase. The game will be coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and PC. Unfortunately, however, the demo will only be available on PlayStation 5.

Nonetheless if you want to dig into what the demo offers, you can get it by going to the PSN store, logging into your account if not logged in already, and locating the Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin game page. The demo will be available for PS5 players to claim there. That’s about it. It’s free so you don’t have to spend anything and it should give you an idea of what’s in store in the full game.
