As the game nears its release date, with only a month and a half to go, Sega has released a demo version of the game, which can be downloaded today. However, North American fans might have to wait a little bit du to Sega making a mistake with the release of the demo in the region, as some players were able to access the full game after downloading the demo. You can check out the full details of the incident here, which we will update once the demo is re-uploaded to the North American store.
