Trails beyond the Horizon releases in just under a month, but you can jump in early thanks to not one, but two playable demos.

It's a slightly strange way of doing things, but to be clear, these are two separate demos, each requiring their own download.

The 'Story' demo (5.4GB) lets you play through the RPG's prologue, and you'll be able to carry over your progress to the full game when it launches on the 15th January.

Meanwhile, the 'Battle' demo (a hefty 16GB) lets you take control of a much better equipped party later in the adventure. The idea is that it'll give you some insight into the title's updated battle system, which combines action with traditional turn-based commands.

The Battle demo, by the way, is exclusive to PlayStation platforms.
