Armatus is a third-person shooter with roguelite features, developed by Counterplay Games (Godfall), that will be released on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC in 2026.
Before launch, a free demo will be available on Steam from February 23 to March 2 as part of Steam Next Fest: February 2026 Edition.
“In this demo, play as the last supernatural warrior of an ancient order and battle through the demon-infested ruins of Paris.
Experiment with a selection of weapons, upgrades, and abilities to take on demonic horrors determined to destroy you. Fight, die, resurrect, and try again to find your favorite deadly combinations. Then, at the end of the demo, face your first real challenge: a superior demon named the Monument.”
