Vanran, a Soulslike with Shadow of the Colossus-Sized Boss Battles, Drops New Trailer and Demo Release Date

Vanran, a fast-paced soulslike action game with Shadow of the Colossus-sized boss battles, is getting a playable demo later this month. Check out the new trailer above, and the reveal trailer below.

If this is your first time hearing about Vanran, it’s an indie-developed, faster-paced-than-usual soulslike that features random dungeons, and whose developers at Becuzus describe its fantasy world as such: “Vanran is a dark fantasy action RPG where a fallen human slave wields a sealed blade to spark rebellion. Players walk a brutal path toward freedom in a world of despair.”

A playable demo will be available on Steam from January 23-30, and you can wishlist it on Steam if you’re interested.
