During the IGN Expo, an exclusive trailer for the upcoming 2D Souls-like game from Black Mermaid and Humble Games showed off some hardcore gameplay. Along with the gameplay, we got a proper look into the dark fantasy setting that Moonscars will take place in. Probably the best news about this game from this week would have to be that it will be part of Steam Next Fest, which means there will be a playable demo from June 13th to the 20th!

In this game, every death is a lesson learned - and as you overcome each challenge, new truths will be revealed. As the fierce Clayborne warrior Grey Irma, you must push your combat skills to the limit and master new abilities to progress through an unforgiving nonlinear 2D world. Facing off against the relentless, destructive darkness and the cruel mistress of the Moon, your quest is to find the Sculptor and unravel the mystery of your existence.

Moonscars is aiming to be fully released in 2022 on PC via Steam and the Humble Store. Is this exclusive new trailer enough to entice you to try out the demo next week?
