At gamescom Opening Night Live 2026, broadcast August 26 Japan time, Airship Syndicate showed a gameplay trailer for DUST: Origins. The top-down action horror shooter comes from the creators of the Darksiders series. Footage shows heavy weapons like shotguns and gatlings used against criminals and monsters. The game is in development for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, said to be in final stages, with a Kickstarter campaign underway.
The trailer runs on brute force. Players fire shotguns and gatlings at enemies that do not negotiate: criminals swing massive swords and monsters simply cannot be reasoned with. The presentation leans on heavy firepower as the answer to both.
DUST: Origins is targeting PC on Steam and the Epic Games Store. The developers describe the project as being in its final stages of development, and a Kickstarter campaign is currently underway to support the push toward release.
The project comes from Airship Syndicate, the studio behind the Darksiders series, giving the horror shooter a pedigree in action game design as it moves through its closing development phase.
