Beyond: Two Souls demo will be released on October 1

Sony will release a demo of Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls on October 1 in North America, the company has announced.

The demo will be released in Europe a day later, on October 2.

Two levels will be included in the demo. The first, Jodie & Aiden, takes place at the start of the game and has the player take part in an experiment at the Department of Paranormal Activities. The second chapter, Hunted, takes place later in the game and has the game's protagonist, Jodie, attempting to escape from government agents.

"This will be the first chance for most to go hands-on and experience the improvements Quantic Dream has made to Heavy Rain’s control scheme," says Sony.

Quantic Dream recently confirmed that players will be able to control Beyond: Two Souls via iOS and Android devices, but it was not stated if this feature will be included in the demo.

Beyond: Two Souls will be released for the PlayStation 3 on October 8 in North America, and on October 11 in Europe.
