Koei Tecmo has announced the launch date for the Bladestorm: Nightmare demo which will include a battle tutorial, highlighting various troops that can be commanded, squad attack actions, a plethora of weapons and the ability of zapping between units.

This demo will allows players to get an early start of understanding the battle during a mission, and and understanding of the various tactical and strategic options available to them.

The demo will be available on PSN for Playstation 4 and PlayStation 3 and on XBL for Xbox One in early March 2015. A PC demo has not been announced.

Downloading the demo will also allow save data transfer from Bladestorm: the Hundred Year War PlayStation 3 version to Bladestrom: Nightmare PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 versions.

In addition, Koei Tecmo also released information about bonus content for those who pre-order through Game. They will receive a dragon mask and staff item set while those who choose to pre-order through PSN will receive a Cyclops mask and club item set. Lastly, a special costume set for the Black Prince and Joan of Arc will be available from independent retailers via CentreSoft.
