4Divinity and Eschatology Entertainment announced on October 16, 2026 that the Soulslike FPS Guns of Escaton will release on December 8, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game is set in a fictional 19th-century American West where the occult and supernatural mix, and it combines FPS gunfights with Soulslike combat, limited ammunition, parries, and pre-battle preparation.
The release date arrived with a trailer shown during the online event Galaxies Showcase. Combat asks players to shoot accurately, manage limited ammunition, read enemy behavior, and judge when to attack or parry, with preparation before a fight carrying as much weight as the fight itself. An in-game Codex records enemy weaknesses, and players can combine special ammunition and occult abilities to handle encounters. Builds mix firearms, talismans, armor, and abilities, along with active and passive skills and techniques learned from legendary gunslingers. Solo play runs the full game, and 2-player co-op carries character growth over.
