Publisher 4Divinity and developer Eschatology Entertainment have today announced Guns of Eschaton, a mystical Western first-person shooter fused with a Souls-like challenge.
Guns of Eschaton is the final original universe envisioned by the late Viktor Antonov, the art director behind some of the most memorable worlds in videogames including Half Life 2 and Dishonored.
Set in nineteenth-century America, Guns of Eschaton draws upon historical figures and mythic archetypes of the Old West, reimagined within a fantastical apocalyptic world, where every enemy encounter means risking death. Players will take on a journey from the West to the East Coast through a dying America. In this apocalyptic world, every enemy encounter becomes a test of preparation, resource management, and survival.
You’ll learn to tackle enemy encounters through the use of specialised ammunition, well-timed parries, precise dashes, and the Codex, which reveals enemy weaknesses through its Sequence Points system. Together, these core mechanics form the foundation of the game’s strategic combat. Fuad Kuliev, Studio Head at Eschatology Entertainment, said:
“We are incredibly honoured to be revealing Guns of Eschaton, the final project shaped by the extraordinary vision of Viktor Antonov. From the earliest stages of development, I had the privilege of shaping this world together with Viktor: where ideas, themes, and concepts evolved through his talent into the world players will see today. Viktor’s imagination and creative legacy have been a constant source of inspiration throughout development, and this game is the result of an incredible collaborative effort from our entire team to bring that vision to life. We are proud to share it with players around the world in partnership with our publisher, 4Divinity.”
