Sega confirms Vanquish demo with a date

Sega has announced that the demo for Vanquish,  Shinji Mikami’s hottest title he has worked on in over 4 years, will be available exclusively for download from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and PlayStation Store  in North America on 31st August, across Europe on 1st September and Australia on 2nd September.

Vanquish is a high tension, action-packed third person shooter. Kitted up with a futuristic ARS battle suit, you play the role of Sam, a US government agent. Not only is your suit futurisitic, but so are your weapons and enemies.

The demo entails one level with the choice from two levels of difficulty (Casual or Normal.) As Sam you are fighting for ownership over the planet’s remaining energy resources against Russia on board a huge space station. On entering the third port lobby of the space station, numerous enemy robots are being brought in by dropships. Players have an array of weaponry and upgrades at their disposal, as well as the ability to hijack “Walkers”, or use the suits unique Boost and AR mode to take down the robots. The demo climaxes with the formidable boss, Argus which you will need to use all your skills acquired throughout the demo to defeat. There’s nothing better than ending a demo with a good old boss fight!

 The game is set for release across North America on 19th October, Australia on 21st of October and across Europe on October 22nd 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
