The demo for Capcom’s action-RPG Dragon’s Dogma will be out next week. PS3 and 360 owners will be able to try out the demon-slaying new game for free when the demo is released on the 24 August (US), with European release the following the day.

The game looks like it could be one of this years’ sleeper hits. Every time we see new footage of the game we are more impressed. Fingers crossed this is something special.

Here’s the official press release:

With your party of three Pawns, the demo allows you to experience the different styles of two of the game’s character classes in two challenging encounters.

A melee specialist skilled in both attacks and counterattacks, as the Fighter you will make your way through underground tunnels and chambers before taking on the deadly Chimera in a Prologue quest, set before the events of the main game. Swift and nimble, the Strider’s weapons of choice are bow and daggers, use them well if you are to defeat the mighty Griffin in the open plains surrounding the capital of Gransys.

Let your imagination run wild and design both your playable character and main Pawn using the game’s incredibly in-depth character creation tools before you take on the Griffin; purchasers of Dragon’s Dogma will then be able to export both these characters into the full game on its release.
