As posted last week, Armored Core V demo will be available for download on 19 January 2012, and playable from 21 January 10:00am through 22 January at 24:00.

In online play, you can create and join teams, take part in team area battles, play through Chapter 00 from the game’s story missions (this is different from the closed beta test), and play tutorial missions. You can also try out the mercenary system, area customization and mech assembly using 73 parts. You can communicate with your fellow players via the various chat types, including voice, text and auto-chat.

For offline play, you can create and join teams, and try out the story and tutorial missions, as well as all the customization components

The demo will occupy 1GB on your PS3, so free up that HDD for the demo.
