South Korean studio ABUTTON is developing Guns and Dragons, a cooperative rogue-lite FPS for up to three players set in a fantasy world of magic and dragons. Director Park Jun-woo spoke with 4Gamer at ChinaJoy 2026. The game features over 45 weapons, three bosses per stage, and a hub that expands through repeated play. A Steam playtest runs until August 10, 2026.
Guns and Dragons is ABUTTON's debut title, and the team includes developers who worked on FPS titles like Counter-Strike Online. Director Park Jun-woo spent about 13 years at Nexon working on MMORPGs and SRPGs. The fantasy setting was chosen because it allows more expansive PvE gameplay, and the team is targeting players who want a more casual experience than competitive multiplayer.
The game is strictly rogue-lite, with a story, a hub, and persistent progression. Players can expand the hub through repeated runs, and upgraded facilities make combat easier. After each boss, players choose whether to proceed or retreat, so risk management is central. The team exhibited at Nordic Game 2026 in Sweden, where they held their first demo.
