Guns of Eschaton Demo Hits Steam Ahead of Next Fest

Eschatology Entertainment and publisher 4Divinity released a demo for Guns of Eschaton on Steam on October 5, 2026. The soulslike first-person shooter is set in a 19th-century America reworked into a post-apocalyptic Western, and it is planned for release within 2026 on PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Players take the role of a gunslinger crossing a dying frontier, working with limited ammunition and reading enemy behavior, weak points, and rituals rather than relying on fast reflexes. The demo is an independent adventure made for the demo rather than a prologue or cut segment of the campaign, and it includes enemies that do not normally appear in the corresponding location in the full release. The late art director Viktor Antonov, credited on Half-Life 2 and Dishonored, was involved with the title, and his name is listed as visual director. The demo stays playable during Steam Next Fest, which runs from October 19 to October 26, 2026.
