Instinction First Gameplay Demo, and Playable Sandbox Dropping Soon; Here’s a Tease of Weapons Featured in it

Instinction First Gameplay Demo

The day is finally almost upon us, as Hasbane Interactive confirmed that the first gameplay demo for Instinction is arriving this month. But in the meantime, the studio has released a teaser, revealing and showing off the weapons that’ll be seen during the demo.

As revealed on X, here’s your first look at some of the weapons that are available in the game and showcased during the upcoming demo.

Here’s what Hashbane had to say about them on X:

“Get ready to gear up! INSTINCTION will feature a variety of weapons, both historical and modern throughout the campaign, each with their own story of how they arrived in the Rift.

Take a sneak peek at the Benelli B76 Pistol, Blunderbuss, and Tantō Knife, which will all featured in our upcoming demo video.

These weapons are perfect for keeping aggressive creatures at bay, solving puzzles, and, when necessary, defending yourself against others who’ve found their way in…”

I have to say, these are looking fantastic. You can see some old period weapons, while others are more modern day, but with a twist of being encased in bones and such.

The gameplay demo (video) should be dropping in the next few days, with two more planned. Those won’t be the only surprise Hashbane has for us either, as they’ve also confirmed that a public sandbox will be released soon! Hasbane noted on X that they’ve overhauled several areas to make the game smooth and that this playable sandbox will give players a chance to know how the game feels firsthand. We doubt that’s dropping before the year is over, but one can hope!

Instinction is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S and is currently targeting a Q4 2025 release. If you want to learn more about the game and the studio, check out our exclusive interview with Hashbane Interactive!
