Publisher Wales Interactive has revealed a timed exclusive demo for Sker Ritual in Steam Next Fest which runs in tandem with Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest from June 13th-20th. The demo will enable 1-4 players to team up online and face Sker Island’s Quiet Ones and their more powerful cohabitants, The Elites, in a first-person round-based survival shooter.
