We’ve been curious to try out Konami’s cute octopus platformer action game, Darwin’s Paradox, and fortunately, the publisher has seen fit to release a playable demo.
It’s available now on PS5, and in a fun twist, the demo is a crossover with the Metal Gear Solid series.
Take a look at what we mean in the below trailer:
The demo contains Easter eggs related to Konami’s beloved stealth action series as you get to grips with Darwin’s octopus abilities, like camouflage and using ink to evade enemies. It’s a fun nod, and a neat way to make the demo a unique experience.
In addition to the demo, Konami has shared a release date for Darwin’s Paradox itself. It’s set for launch on 2nd April, 2026 on PS5.
