Konami's offbeat new IP, Darwin's Paradox, now has a free demo you can try ahead of the full game's launch. The title — co-developed with French studio ZDT Studio — puts players in control of an octopus in a platforming experience that leans into stealth mechanics and animal-inspired trickery.

  • Free demo available now, letting players sample the game's core movement and stealth systems.
  • Full release is scheduled for 2 April 2026 on Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 console.
  • Project is a collaboration between Konami and ZDT Studio, marking a new original IP for the publisher.
  • The gameplay blends platforming with sneaky, tactical approaches — evoking classic stealth sensibilities in an unusual octopus-led package.
