Toaru Majutsu no VIRTUAL-ON demo coming to PSN on December 14

Some players may still be trying to wrap their heads around Toaru Majutsu no VIRTUAL-ON‘s concept of a crossover between the VIRTUAL-ON and Toaru Majutsu no Index franchises. For those still confused about this, it seems that there’ll be a chance for players to try the game out soon!

In a recent interview with Dengeki Online, producer Juuro Watari confirmed that a demo for the game will be coming out on December 14. The demo will allow players to try out all 13 characters (and virtuaroids) in both tutorial missions, and battles against the AI. In addition to this, ad-hoc versus games are enabled locally for the PlayStation Vita demo.

Sadly, the demo will not have online battles. That said, having all 13 characters playable is a pretty significant thing for a demo.

Aside from this, Watari also addressed concerns from some fans regarding some characters from Toaru Majutsu no Index not making the game. He stated that he does want to do something about this, but that it depends on player feedback.
