During the recent Xbox Partner Preview, Counterplay Games revealed ARMATUS, a new third-person roguelite shooter. ARMATUS will release in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2.
In an Xbox Wire post, Counterplay Games describes ARMATUS:
The world has ended. In a shattered reality – torn apart by rapture and apocalypse – planes of existence dance together, and demonic hordes have inherited the earth. The streets run red with blood. The screams have long since faded.
But four remain.
Barricaded in the bowels of the Cathédrale de Trois, four members of the Armatus – an ancient religious order – have been left behind, forsaken by God. They have summoned you to fight on their behalf and usher them to heaven. But are they worthy of that which they seek?
Armatus is an action-packed, gothic-tinged tale about forlorn clerics trapped in a biblical, post-apocalyptic hellscape. They are the last mortals. The only humans left. The four that you’ve sworn to protect.
As a mysterious, otherworldly warrior – a deathless entity bound to sacred armor – you will traverse the Scoured Path, and search for The Sunless Gate at its end; a doorway of myth that may hold the keys to their salvation.
The Scoured Path is an ever-shifting crucible that winds through our version of Paris, France – a twisted, labyrinthine nightmare torn apart by cosmic catastrophe. The Path will be different for every player, every time; procedurally-spawned rooms, enemy compositions, and rewards await down every road, and behind every door. No journey is ever the same.
