Ruiner developer Reikon Games is giving PS5 players the chance to sample its next action game Metal Eden in the form of a demo, available to download now on the PS Store.

The full title is set to launch on 6th May 2025, but you can try the first two missions now. The whole experience is made up of eight missions, so you're actually getting free access to a quarter of the game. There's also a speedrun challenge associated with the playable teaser, with the fastest times taking a cut of a $1,000 prize pool.

"Metal Eden presents an adrenaline-fueled sci-fi FPS that explores a world where humanity's consciousness has transcended the flesh, now residing within robots," is the pitch in a press release.

"With 8 unique missions and a handcrafted universe setting that embraces the cybernetic dimension of life, the game thrills players into an artificial world, where they'll dive into in cybernetic warfare, control a powerful hyper unit, and uncover the mysteries of a lost paradise."

If it's anything like RUINER, then players should be in for a good time. We gave Reikon Games' debut game an 8/10 back in 2017, calling it "beautiful, brutal, and terrifying. With some impressive art direction, great music, and a wealth of immensely satisfying combat systems, Ruiner offers essential top-down gameplay, and comes highly recommended."
