Guns of Eschaton was announced in late June 2026 by publisher 4Divinity and developer Eschatology Entertainment, a Cyprus-based studio making its debut title. The game is a soulslike first-person shooter set in a post-apocalyptic 19th-century America, built on the final world concept by the late Viktor Antonov, the art director known for Half-Life 2 and Dishonored. Players control a multi-armed gunslinger traveling from the West to the East Coast of a dying continent, fighting grotesque monsters with firearms, parries, and occult abilities.
Combat emphasizes preparation: a Codex system lets players analyze enemy weaknesses via Sequence Points, and a flexible build system combines active and passive skills, custom bullets, talismans, armor, and three Sacrament Paths. The game supports solo and cooperative play, plus a PvP element where players can invade others' sessions as hostile threats. A trailer released with the announcement shows in-game footage.
The game is planned for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. No release date or price has been announced. The announcement is the first public reveal of a project conceived in Viktor Antonov's final creative vision.
