In lieu of a standard demo, Dishonored 2 will soon receive a free trial letting players sample the early portion of the game.
The trial launches this Thursday, April 6, on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It provides full access to the game's first three missions--a decent-sized chunk of the game--and lets you __play as either of the two playable characters, Emily and Corvo.
Should you __play the trial and then decide to purchase the full game, your save data will carry over, allowing you to pick up your progress from where you left off.
When it arrives on Thursday, you'll find the demo on the game's respective Steam, PlayStation Store, and Xbox Store pages. For an idea of what to expect, check out GameSpot's Dishonored 2 review.
