Dark Messiah demo released

Play it for a spell.

Ubisoft and Arkane Studios have released a playable single-player demo of Dark Messiah of Might & Magic.

It's a whopping 1.4GB, mind, but don't worry too much because you can always read our impressions while it's on the way down.

The demo consists of the tutorial prologue level and The Dragon-Forsaken Island - the first level from the full game.

Dark Messiah, based on Valve's Source engine, is due out in October according to Ubisoft's latest release schedule.
