A promising new PS5 action game that was revealed in November 2025 now has a release date, and it’s out soon. Armatus was a surprising new announcement by Counterplay Games, the folks behind Godfall. The studio has dropped a new trailer alongside its release date.
Godfall dev’s promising PS5 action game Armatus gets January 2027 launch date
Armatus will release on January 7, 2027, for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
Armatus is officially described as “a third-person roguelite shooter set in the demon-infested ruins of Paris.”
“As the last supernatural warrior of an ancient order, armed with powerful firearms and incredible celestial powers, scour the city in search of a lost gateway to heaven — the Sunless Gate,” an official overview reads. “Knowledge is a weapon, and death is never the end. Each run, wield your scythe and a gun of your choosing against brutal demons hellbent on your destruction.”
Armatus’ announcement came a year after reports emerged that Counterplay Games had been “disbanded.” An employee at a partner studio mentioned the disbanding on their verified LinkedIn profile, but there was no official confirmation from Counterplay itself.
Armatus will be Counterplay’s third game. Its first two games — Godfall and Duelyst — were not commercially successful.
