Fictions has two action games in active promotion: Beast of Reincarnation, a parry-focused action RPG from Game Freak, launches August 4 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC; and Armatus, a roguelite shooter, is announced for a winter 2026 release on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Fictions, the publisher behind Game Freak's Beast of Reincarnation, is preparing to ship that title on August 4 across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A battle system video released July 15 detailed the parry-and-command loop, Bloom Techniques, boss weaknesses, a skill tree, and three difficulty modes. The game is a one-person, one-dog action RPG, a departure from Game Freak's turn-based reputation.
One month earlier, during the PC Gaming Show 2026 on June 8, Fictions announced its own third-person roguelite shooter Armatus. Set in a demon-ravaged Paris, the game casts the player as the last superhuman warrior of an ancient order searching for the Gate of the Sunless Sky. Roguelite mechanics let players gain strength from enemies and resurrect after defeat, using accumulated knowledge to continue fighting. Armatus is scheduled for winter 2026 on PC via Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, marking Fictions' first announced title for Nintendo's next console.
Together, the two announcements show Fictions releasing two distinct action games within a few months of each other, one from an established developer and one from its own internal team, and committing to early support for the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.

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.

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.
