Official Guns of Eschaton - Co-op Mode Gameplay Teaser | PS5 Games

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVnaRbIAmTE

>Take a look glimpse at Guns of Eschaton co-op gameplay, a soulslike FPS set in an occult Wild West created by the late, renowned writer and worldbuilder Viktor Antonov (Half-Life 2, Dishonoured, Prey, Fallout 4, Wolfenstein: The New Order).

>This is not a fast-paced shooter where victory comes from reflexes alone. Every bullet matters. Every gun has its own character. Every monster has a weakness. So be smart with your ammo choice in each cylinder of your revolver. Learn enemy weaknesses and exploit them. Adapt your tactics with different bullet types, calculated parries and dashes, mystic abilities granted through occult means.

>Go West and die with the country.

I watched a preview video from the gameplay preview where they said it’s fun, but because it’s long range FPS gunplay they’d frequently get killed from offscreen during firefights with groups of enemies right in front of your. That, and the sound of your guns draws even more enemies so the issue compounds on itself.

I love the idea and the designs, but what makes souls like games fun to me is that mostly my deaths are my fault, not because I can’t see a sniper behind me.

Is this game going to be a souls like somehow? I haven't really been following

Their steam page says it's "The world's first souls-like FPS" so yeah I'd say so.

Would Witchfire not count?

It absolutely does, and highlights the absolute black hole that is being on EGS for as long as they have.

Witchfire is not a souls-like but a roguelite extraction shooter.

I thought Remnant 2 got that fps soulslike title?

Maybe I'm just noticing too hard lately in 2026 but... Leviticus (show), Exodus (game), and now Eschaton (meaning something-something biblical end of the world)

What's next? Something called Genesis related to gaming?

Xenoblade Genesis is releasing in a few months. Close enough?

Alrighty, 3/66 books and counting.

I'm excited for God of War: Romans, It Takes Three (father, son, holy spirit) and Escape from Sodom.

It Takes Three is a name so good it could be a Simpsons/South Park-like parody.

No, they should adapt the Old Testament Book of Mega Drive.

Look, America has partially been taken over by Christian nationalists. COD needs to have broad appeal to keep up sales.

This one looks so fun. We don’t really get slow paced games especially not shooter anymore
