On September 3, LINE Games released Demo 2.0 for its upcoming self-developed premium survivor-like title, 'Ember and Blade'.

In Demo 2.0, the game's core element—its combat system—has been completely redesigned. Combo actions combining light and heavy attacks have been introduced, while automatically fired sub-weapons have been removed.

Monster combat AI has also been improved. Monsters now pressure and encircle the protagonist from multiple directions, and the actions and sound effects for three major weapon types—sword, hammer, and shotgun—have been revamped. Visual effects upon defeating monsters have also been enhanced.

Combat presentation utilizing terrain and new features for boss-level monsters have been added. Placing a boss-level monster in a groggy state grants an additional attack bonus.

Additionally, the visual clarity of the 'ACT 1' environment has been improved, and new interactive elements have been added to the castle. LINE Games plans to refine the game's overall quality based on feedback from demo players.

'Ember and Blade' will be released globally on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as on console platforms PlayStation 5 and Xbox. Demo 2.0 is available on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Xbox Store.
