What the build contains
The developer described an expanded demo with multiple routes, two boss fights, recognizable locations, and large-scale set pieces. Mordred and Geraint are the two named bosses in the event announcement. That was the documented demo scope; it does not establish their position in the final story, every route through the build, or a universal boss strategy.
Gamescom identifies the same Booth B-050 and lists the game's PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC release platforms. The demo announcement names only PS5 and Xbox hardware for the booth build, so a PC station should not be assumed.
No home demo is announced
Steam, PlayStation Store, and Xbox do not list a downloadable demo for home users. The Gamescom build was the game's first overseas public hands-on opportunity, not a timed console or PC download. A video of the booth build, creator preview, or store wishlist button does not provide access now.
