Armatus will launch on January 7, 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store, with Game Pass availability planned as well. The game from Counterplay Games, published by Fictions, is a third-person roguelite shooter set in the demon-infested ruins of Paris.
The world has already collapsed, and once-busy streets are now overrun by increasingly grotesque creatures. As the last supernatural warrior of an ancient order, players must carve a path toward the Sunless Gate, a lost gateway to heaven that may be the final hope for survivors hidden behind holy wards.
The loop follows roguelite structure: fight, die, revive and return with more knowledge. Each run combines a scythe, a chosen firearm and celestial powers, pushing players to experiment with builds based on SMGs, shotguns, holy fire and time-slowing abilities. Death is not an ending, but part of progression.
The promise is to start powerful and become increasingly destructive while Paris shifts into harsher demonic hellscapes. The new release date arrives alongside a trailer focused on combat speed, powers and the brutality of each encounter.
