Demo progress does not transfer to the full release. Auroch Digital's October announcement also says progress from the earlier demo does not carry into the new October demo. Those are two separate save boundaries, both explicitly stated by the developer.
Identify which build you used
| From | To | Announced progression transfer |
|---|---|---|
| Earlier demo | October 6 demo | No |
| Demo | Full game | No |
Starting the released game with fewer unlocks than you had in a demo can therefore be expected behavior. It does not by itself prove that a cloud save failed or that your progression was erased unexpectedly.
Do not use old recipes without a date
The October demo introduced new featured champions and changed the context of earlier player reports. The evolution reference distinguishes original October recipes from later release corroboration instead of treating all demos as identical.
What this announcement does not answer
The no-transfer statement does not establish cross-save between Steam, GOG, consoles and mobile, nor does it describe every full-game cloud-save behavior. No save-conversion tool or manual file-copy workaround is recommended here.
If your concern is loss of progress within the same released build, keep the platform and version details and use the official support route. That is a different problem from the intentionally separate demo progression. The release/platform guide helps confirm you are looking at the purchased full game rather than a demo or another Warhammer title.
