Gamers worldwide can now play From Software's third-person action game Ninja Blade for free. The demo has just been released on Xbox Live.

The demo includes a segment of one level from the full game. It's a cut scene, a couple scrapes with henchmen, and a boss encounter. It weighs in at 473 MB and for now is only available to Xbox Live users with Gold (premium) subscriptions.

The full game will be released on April 3rd in Europe and April 7th in North America. Blend Games got a chance to play the demo early last week and you can read our thoughts on the game here.
