Demonschool Is Summoning Players This September
Finally!
Originally delayed into early 2025, Demonschool finally has its release date after many eye-catching trailers and an excellent demo. Confirmed during the Nintendo Indie World Showcase by Necrosoft Games, youll soon be walking university halls and fighting a host of demons at night.
Demonschool Release Date Announced
Demonschool is officially coming to PC, Xbox Series S|X, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch on September 3, 2025. Check out the dazzling release date trailer revealed during the Nintendo Direct:
You can still try out the demo on Steam and get a good taste of what to expect from the full release. In short, its a lot like ATLUSs SMT series, but with tactics combat. Youll have your downtime during the day as you make new friends, explore the island, and take on side quests, while the dungeon-crawling section is where the tactics combat takes place.
15 different characters can join your party, meaning youll have plenty of unique compositions to experiment with. Each character has different activities and individual bonds, which allow you to improve their skills during combat. Its a lot like Persona in that regard, but if Persona was inspired by Italian Horror Cinema and Japanese horror manga instead.
The developers have also confirmed that the game is verified for the Steam Deck, and given the style of the game, I think itll be best played on a handheld device like the Deck or Nintendo Switch anyway. Its not a demanding game at all, and you can see how it runs by downloading the demo. At launch, it will come with English, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese language support.
The only detail that hasnt been revealed so far is the pricing. If I had to guess, it would probably be around $30 for the digital release and a bit more for any special collectors physical edition. Its currently not available to pre-order on any storefront, but you can wishlist it at the following links:
With the release date only a few weeks away, I doubt well see another delay for Demonschool, and I will be there at launch. Its nice to see a project come together that was revealed over three years ago.
