The Stellar Blade PC release was briefly the biggest demo at Steam Next Fest, but it's been overtaken by a controversial soulslike MMORPG revival that shares at least one thing with Stellar Blade itself

Vindictus Defying Fate.

Stellar Blade is coming to PC, and developer Shift Up is using Steam Next Fest to show it off early. Perhaps unsurprisingly for a game that's been so high-profile, it's immediately proven to be one of the biggest demos of the Fest - on the first day, it topped two of Next Fest's three charts. But since then, it's been overtaken by a potentially unlikely candidate.

At the very start of this month's Steam Next Fest, Stellar Blade was at the top of the Popular Upcoming chart, which sorts demos by their all-time wishlist counts. It was also at the top of the Top Demos chart, which measures daily user count. But while its generally high profile means it's sitting resolute at the top of the former, it's currently been dethroned on the latter.
