Demonschool gets a new trailer at Guerrilla Collective showing new bosses, characters, and combat

During today's Guerrilla Collective Showcase 2023 Livestream, Ysbryd Games and Necrosoft Games showcased a new trailer for horror tactical RPG Demonschool, alongside a few new screenshots.

The game is set to release for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam, Epic) in 2023, but no release date has been given.

The new trailer shows new bosses, new characters, and a lot of combat. You can find the footage, description, and screenshots below, via Ysbryd Games and Necrosoft Games. The official website is here.

Demonschool, the school-life tactics RPG with hints of Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, and Italian horror cinema from developer Necrosoft Games and publisher Ysbryd Games (World of Horror, VA-11 HALL-A), unveiled a new boss battle earlier today at the Guerrilla Collective Showcase.
