Thanks Farflame!A Xenonauts 2 demo is currently available as part of the Steam Games Festival, which ends on February 9. The demo can, however, only be accessed by users who don't already own the title and features one level of tactical combat.
"Based on community feedback as well as our own schedule, we've decided to push the Early Access release of Xenonauts-2 back a few months. We know this will be a disappointment to those of you who have been waiting a long time for this, and we apologise again for the delays," the developer said in a post on the game's website.
"However, we have managed to secure additional development funding and this gives us a lot more flexibility in terms of when we launch. Ultimately, this is the best decision for the game and one which will enable us to come into Early Access with something much more polished and complete."
If you don't get around to playing the demo, you'll be happy to hear that a Xenonauts 2 open beta is also scheduled to kick off in March. It will "contain a significant amount of the content" planned for the Early Access release. While entry might be initially gated, the open beta will eventually allow everyone to get a better taste of what the title has to offer.
