Sega will release a ‘Battle Demo’ for Phantasy Star Nova on the PlayStation Store in Japan next month, the publisher announced.

Though it’s called the ‘Battle Demo,’ and will indeed let you try your skill against the game’s new Gigantes enemies, you’ll also get a taste of the game’s story through the atmosphere of Planet Machia and character cut scenes.

If you’re in Sapporo on July 26 or Nagoya on August 3, you’ll be able to test out the demo in advance at Phantasy Star Online Kanshasai 2014. It’ll be at the invitation-only Jump Victory Carnival 2014 on July 19 and 26, as well.
