Districts
Loftia hanging gardens
Play Loftia City in the demo
Hanging Gardens and Gridfall are named for Early Access, not for the demo.
Loftia hanging gardens and Gridfall are the Early Access districts beside Loftia City. Gridfall is the concrete jungle: air rails, towers, a museum, and tunnels.
These districts have no coordinate map, no gate quest, and no travel time between them.
Which island is in the demo
Hanging Gardens and Gridfall are named as Early Access districts. The demo itself is Loftia City.
The demo takes place in Loftia City and includes the main questline.
Loftia City is the district you can walk in the Next Fest demo. Its card says the focus is the main questline and the first sky-island district.
- Hanging Gardens is named as an Early Access district, not part of the demo. The focus on its card is fishing, community farms, and a dark forest.
- Gridfall is the other Early Access district. Players searching for a concrete jungle are looking at this one: salvaging, air rails, a museum, and underground tunnels.
- These districts have no coordinate map, no gate quest, and no travel time. The district you can walk today is Loftia City.
- Forage names, including ones that sound like salvaging, are spots rather than pins on a district map. Every one of those spots is a forage spot.
- Use Loftia City for the demo, and treat Hanging Gardens and Gridfall as Early Access plans until that build opens on November 3, 2026.
