Today’s Xbox Partner Preview kicked off with the reveal of Armatus, a roguelite third-person shooter coming next year by Counterplay Games, the studio behind 2020’s Godfall. The game takes place in Paris, which has become overrun with demons after the fall of humanity.Â
Players control a supernatural warrior hailing from an ancient order who wields traditional firearms and celestial powers, such as a glowing scythe-like weapon. You’ll battle your way through demons in search of a gateway to heaven called the Sunless Gate. A run-based game, death means restarting with different weapon loadouts, and players will gain new abilities the further they progress.Â

Armatus is coming in 2026 to Xbox Series X/S and PC. It’s also coming to Xbox Game Pass.Â
