The official beta descriptions cover the prologue and an early open-world section, including Tiel, Beacons, optional dungeons and the route toward Magdalena. It is an in-development build and should not be used to state final balance or performance as retail fact.

Is there a demo, and how long is it?
The closest public demo is the free Open Beta build. Its playable scope covers the prologue and an early open section, so expect a short slice rather than a fixed retail demo length; the store listings do not publish an official hour count. The retail game itself is officially described as roughly 30–40 hours of gameplay.
