The free Second Stone demo for Second Stone: The Legend of the Hidden World arrives this Monday, October 19, 2026, on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest. The action RPG developed by Skyward Entertainment and published by Headup lets players try the Second Stone demo before the full release, whose date has not yet been announced.
What to expect from the Second Stone demo
Second Stone follows Shiren, a young treasure hunter searching for his lost spirit guardian. The game combines fast and fluid movement, combat with elemental magic, platforming, and environmental puzzles. Players can switch between a bright, vibrant world and its dark, dangerous mirror, two realms on the brink of collision.
Features of the Second Stone demo include modular build customization, where elemental stones are fused to create unique powers, a bustling village hub with quests and a dice minigame, plus procedural roguelike dungeons. The demo should offer more content than previous playtests, according to the studio.
Context and platforms
The game was announced with trailers at events like the Galaxies Spring Showcase and IGN Fan Fest. It will be available on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. The Second Stone demo is free and part of the October Steam Next Fest schedule.
