Viktor Antonov to lead development of Guns of Eschaton

Viktor Antonov, the art director known for his work on Half-Life 2 and Dishonored, is leading the development of a new title titled ‘Guns of Eschaton’. Developed by Eschatology Entertainment and 4Divinity, the game is currently projected for a 2028 release, though a 2027 launch remains a possibility.

The game is described as a unique fusion of the first-person shooter and Soulslike genres, set within an original apocalyptic Western universe. It features a deep progression and crafting system where players can combine firearms, ammunition, occult abilities, talismans, and armor to create individualized character builds.

While primarily designed as a single-player experience, the game will also include a cooperative mode to allow for shared survival and different tactical approaches. The gameplay emphasizes precision and the importance of studying opponents within its high-stakes environment.
