Fictions announced its new action game 'Armatus' during the PC Gaming Show 2026 on June 8. The game is a third-person roguelite shooter set in a demon-ravaged Paris. Players take on the role of the last superhuman warrior of an ancient order, who must find the lost gate to heaven, called the 'Gate of the Sunless Sky' or 'Gate of No Sun' depending on the source. The trailer shown at the event revealed gameplay footage and confirmed a winter 2026 release window. 'Armatus' will launch on PC via Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The game features roguelite mechanics: players gain strength from enemies, and even after defeat, they can resurrect repeatedly, using accumulated knowledge to continue fighting demons.
The announcement came during the PC Gaming Show 2026, a digital showcase that typically highlights upcoming PC titles, though 'Armatus' is confirmed for multiple platforms from the start. The two sources differ slightly on the name of the game's central MacGuffin: 4Gamer calls it the 'Gate of the Sunless Sky,' while Game Spark refers to it as the 'Gate of No Sun.' Both agree on the core premise of a superhuman warrior searching for a lost gateway to heaven in a Paris overrun by demons. The trailer did not specify a month for the winter release, leaving the exact launch date unconfirmed. Fictions has not previously released a game on a Nintendo platform, making the Switch 2 version a notable addition to its slate.
