Gamespot has word that the Empire at War demo will debut on their site sometime next week. The demo will include some 5 tutorial missions, and a skirmish map from the campaign. Oh joyous joy of joys!

Q: Discounting ‘betas’, How often does a demo come-out before a game these days?
A: Not very freakin’ often.

We’ll let you know as soon as the demo is available.

EDIT: Just found this page on Gamespot. It says the demo map puts you in control of the Rebel troops on Hoth. There’s also a countdown clock for demo release, which hits 00:00:00 tomorrow afternoon! Hot!
