Artifice Studio has announced the release of a brand-new official trailer and a free playable demo for its upcoming tactical RPG, Legends of the Round Table. Both will go live today, the 13th May 2025 at 13:00 EDT (10:00 PDT / 18:00 BST) via Steam, offering players their first hands-on experience with this historical reimagining of the Arthurian myths.
Developed in collaboration with medieval historians and musicologists, Legends of the Round Table aims to deliver a truly authentic portrayal of King Arthur’s world. Drawing from 13th-century illuminated manuscripts and period-accurate instruments, the game is more than fantasy—it’s a grounded, beautifully crafted narrative experience rooted in the real legends of the Round Table.
“We’re incredibly excited to release this new trailer, which captures not only the essence of Legends of the Round Table but also reflects the state of the world today,” said Yan Pepin, Director at Artifice Studio. “The demo allows players to experience the depth and care we’ve put into crafting the world and its characters.”
What to expect from the demo
Launching alongside the trailer, the free Steam demo features the game’s opening chapter. Players can get a first taste of its strategic turn-based combat, deep narrative, and immersive worldbuilding ahead of the full release.
