Lady Death Demonicron Launch Roadmap

Art of Play published a Road to Launch on ladydeathgame.com. This page restates those dates in player language and adds the email windows the FAQ already lists. Storefront clocks are owned by Steam, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox, so “live” means sometime that calendar day, not a single global minute.

15 June 2026 — Free Steam demo

Public demo for everyone. Use the demo guide and demo versus full. This is the combat exam, not the 15-level campaign.

Lady Death Demonicron Teaser 3 studio update

4 July 2026 — Final trailer

Official site: final trailer featuring a signed band. The industrial-metal soundtrack is part of the pitch, not a menu toggle. If you missed the clip, the homepage teaser and links YouTube channel are the archive.

31 August 2026 — Digital live (Steam, PlayStation, Xbox)

The digital game goes live on those three storefronts. Pre-order and Kickstarter keys are emailed by end of day in each region. Search spam. If you bought through the official shop or Kickstarter, do not wait for a Steam library surprise — check email first.

This is also when retail cheat codes are expected. Sequences stay on the sheet; trophies disable until you restart. Read how to enter codes before you burn a Platinum boot.

11 September 2026 — Nintendo Switch digital

Switch storefront times vary by region. Keys email by end of day that date. Handheld analog sticks are a bad teacher for D-pad specials — dock if you can. See controls and system requirements.

November 2026 — Physical ships

Physical Standard, Deluxe, and Deluxe Hardcore for Switch or PS5, plus Kickstarter physical rewards including the Art of Play Coffin. The official site stars this date as dependent on Nintendo and Sony manufacturing. Collector cards, art prints, and printed cheat sheets travel with Hardcore boxes. Compare SKUs on editions.

What is not a date

• Steam Deck verification: listed unknown on third-party trackers. Do not treat “unknown” as “verified.”
• Remote matchmaking: not on the roadmap because it is not a listed mode. Co-op is local split-screen.
• Extra playable cameos (Evil Ernie, Vampirella): not scheduled. Roster is Lady Death and Ravenheart plus unnamed story allies.

How to use this page on launch week

1. Demo already done? Skip to getting started the hour your key lands.
2. Key missing at 23:00 local? Spam folder, then studio@artofplaygames.com via links.
3. Physical buyer? Digital Deluxe add-ons may already be in email while the box is still at the plant.
4. Trophy hunter? No cheats on that boot.

When numbered patches exist they will get their own pages under the updates hub. Until then, this calendar is the whole public plan.

Time zones and storefronts

“End of day in each region” means a New Zealand key can arrive while North America is still on 30 August. Do not raid Discord at 00:01 UTC demanding a file that Steam has not unlocked in your country. Refresh the library after the local date rolls, then check email.

PlayStation and Xbox storefronts can stagger by hours. A Steam unlock does not prove a PS5 store tile is live. Physical buyers waiting until November 2026 should still redeem digital add-ons (soundtrack, sheet, wallpapers) when the email lands in August or September.

What moves, what does not

Manufacturing can slip. The 15-level count, local split-screen, and English-only Steam language row are product facts, not dates. They do not wait on a Nintendo plant.

A delayed physical wave does not delay cheat codes for digital Hardcore owners. A delayed Switch tile does not block Steam co-op on 31 August 2026.

If Art of Play posts a new dated beat — extra playtest, day-one patch, or a slipped Switch hour — it will be added here with the old date struck in prose, not silently rewritten. For play advice that does not care about calendars, stay in getting started and combat.

Keep the official site FAQ and this page in two tabs on launch night. One is the studio clock. The other is the player checklist.
