Publisher 4Divinity and developer Eschatology Entertainment have today announced Guns of Eschaton, a mystical Western first-person shooter fused with a Souls-like challenge and the final original universe envisioned by the late Viktor Antonov, the art director behind some of the most memorable worlds in videogames including Half Life 2 and Dishonored.
Set in nineteenth-century America, Guns of Eschaton draws upon iconic historical figures and mythic archetypes of the Old West, reimagined within a fantastical apocalyptic world, where every enemy encounter means risking death.
Guns of Eschaton sends players on a journey from the West to the East Coast through a dying America. In this apocalyptic world, every enemy encounter becomes a test of preparation, resource management, and survival.
Players will learn to tackle enemy encounters through the use of specialised ammunition, well-timed parries, precise dashes, and the Codex, which reveals enemy weaknesses through its Sequence Points system. Together, these core mechanics form the foundation of the game’s strategic combat. Just remember: Every. Shot. Counts.
“We are incredibly honoured to be revealing Guns of Eschaton, the final project shaped by the extraordinary vision of Viktor Antonov,” shares Fuad Kuliev, Studio Head at Eschatology Entertainment. “From the earliest stages of development, I had the privilege of shaping this world together with Viktor: where ideas, themes, and concepts evolved through his talent into the world players will see today. Viktor’s imagination and creative legacy have been a constant source of inspiration throughout development, and this game is the result of an incredible collaborative effort from our entire team to bring that vision to life. We are proud to share it with players around the world in partnership with our publisher, 4Divinity.”
Key Features
Every bullet counts: Face off in deliberate, high-stakes gunfights where preparation matters as much as aim. Study enemies through the Codex to uncover weaknesses, execute calculated parries, and wield mystic abilities granted to you by the occult.
Build your legendary gunslinger: Customize your playstyle with deep character progression and flexible buildcrafting. Experiment with a vast arsenal of firearms, ammunition types, occult powers, talismans, armor, and consumables. Combine active and passive abilities, find powerful synergies, and learn deadly tricks from legendary gunslingers.
Explore an occult apocalyptic west: Roam the Apocalyptic West like never before. Created by the legendary Viktor Antonov, the world blends 19th-century frontier Americana with occult horror.
Ride alone or together: Experience this unforgiving world alone or alongside allies, with full solo and co-op progression allowing players to tackle every challenge however they wish.

The Apocalypse is here and it’s being televised. Carl just broke up with his girlfriend Beatrice while she was on vacation. Bummed, still babysitting her apartment and her fluffy show cat, Princess Donut, Carl is in a bad spot. When Donut attempts to runaway in the middle of the night, Carl runs into the night in just his jacket and boxers. All hell breaks loose. Millions dead instantly, leaving the baffled survivors with an announcement: they’re now contestants in a intergalactic game show. Thrown into the Dungeon, now dubbed Crawlers, the survivors most traverse hellscapses full of monsters, looting for gear, and facing bosses before the level collapses. 18 floors, each harder than the rest. And Carl’s only companion is Princess Donut…
The hype around this book was pretty nuts. Every author tuber I follow has this book somewhere on their bookshelves, I’ve seen it posted all over Instagram and Tiktok, and recently it was greenlit for a series on Peacock. I went inn totally blind, weary of literary Blockbusters. This is one of the rare times I think it was warranted.
Dungeon Crawler Carl is a really fun book with great characters, humor, heart, lore and some really cool action. As a gamer, I enjoyed the gaming tropes and found the setup really relatable. Carl and Doughout are great characters that play well off each other, though Doughnut does steal the show more than not. Matt Dinnaman’s writing is down to earth and easygoing, making for a smooth read. My only real complaint is I feel like the book doesn’t come to a real climax. It just ends. No main antagonist per say. There’s alot of threads to be followed up on and their are plenty more books so I’m not too mad. In the end, I loved this book and I highly recommend checking on it. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Following its “Very Positive” reception on Steam and coverage from horror creators including Residence of Evil, SplatterCatGaming, Hollow, Elajjaz, and LaynaLazar, Flesh Made Fear now invites PlayStation 5 players to experience its grim tribute to the golden age of survival horror. The PS5 version also includes Japanese language support.
Inspired by classic Resident Evil games, Flesh Made Fear captures the dread of tight corridors, dangerous encounters, locked doors, strange puzzles, and the constant fear of wasting your last bullet. But beneath its retro foundations lies a modern horror story filled with grotesque experiments, occult rituals, and a town pushed beyond the edge of sanity.
Players take on the role of an operative from the Reaper Intervention Platoon, or R.I.P., dispatched to hunt down Victor “The Dripper” Ripper – a former CIA agent whose work has created monsters, thralls, and unspeakable horrors.
Choose between two playable characters, each with different stats and storylines, and survive through tense combat, limited saves, inventory management, and cinematic encounters designed to keep players vulnerable from start to finish.
For fans of classic survival horror, Flesh Made Fear delivers tank controls, fixed and dynamic cameras, puzzle-driven exploration, scarce resources, and a thick PSX-era atmosphere – now on PlayStation 5.
Today PixelCount Studios has announced that its acclaimed PC life sim sandbox RPG, Kynseed, will launch for PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on 4 August.
ynseed’s free new Tavern Update is also available to all PC players from today. This community-requested feature allows players to run a tavern of their very own where they’ll serve refreshments, manage stock and hire staff to create a lively social hub and bring NPCs together.
Developed by veterans of the Fable series, in Kynseed players plant a mystical acorn and raise it into a family tree where their choices form the branches. Players will raise a family, farm the land, run a business, and explore a vast world filled with colourful NPCs as its inhabitants age and reveal their secrets. When a character dies, control passes to their children and the adventure continues across generations.
Since launching on PC in December 2022, Kynseed has seen more than 10 major game updates, adding significant new features including:
The Tavern: Serve food and drinks, hire staff and acquire useful perks to create a social hub where all NPCs come together.
A deeper story experience: New tasks and characters, plus a new region and combat level designed to bring gentler story pacing.
Customisation: Unlock hundreds of items through gameplay to customise the interior, exterior and function of farms.
Friends & family builds: Forge closer friendships with NPCs to enlist their aid in building farm structures with additional benefits, or to help with repairs and gaining access to new areas.
Progression Tracking: Comprehensively track progress across all activities, with over 400 challenges available offering money, items and customisation unlocks.
Quality of life updates: General improvements to NPCs, new batch crafting, an instant messaging system for task/event alerts and much more.
Kynseed’s new content will be available for console players at launch, alongside a newly-optimised console UI and controls. A full list of updates can be found here.
Kynseed Features:
A generation-spanning story. Embark upon an epic adventure filled with joy, sorrow, comedy, and tragedy, where choices matter and decisions echo through the generations.
Run a business. Forge tools as a blacksmith, run a store, mix potions as an apothecary, or find other ways to build a fortune.
A world of exploration. The land of Quill is filled with characters, secrets, danger, and dark faery tale creatures to battle.
Farm the land. Grow ingredients for food and potions, work the soil, and set up home for your family.
Develop Relationships. Quill is full of colourful NPCs who will remember your deeds, actions, and pranks.
Find proverbs. Unlock the lore and secrets of this mysterious dark faery tale world.
Gather materials. Forage and farm to craft items, cook recipes or mix cures for a range of bizarre maladies.
“Bringing Kynseed to consoles is a milestone we’ve been working toward for a long time,” said PixelCount Co-Founder Neal Whitehead. “The PC community has been incredible and their feedback has helped us make the land of Quill even richer and more vast than it was at launch just over two years ago. We know that many players want to experience the land of Quill on consoles, and we’ve spent a long time ensuring the console experience feels natural, intuitive and complete.”
Sir Ian Livingstone, games industry legend and Chairman of PixelCount Studios, added: “The ambition of Kynseed has always been to offer players a level of freedom and legacy-building rarely seen in sandbox RPGs. From deep crafting to exploration to mastering the combat system to farming to running a blacksmith shop, or simply watching your family grow, Kynseed has it all in a wonderfully whimsical way! We are delighted that PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch players will finally get to plant their own family trees on 4th August.”
Kynseed will launch for PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X|S/Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on 4 August and is available to pre-order now for £19.99/$24.99/€24.99.
The latest Spiderman movie has me more than curious. The character list is pretty eclectic and we have a wide variety of story arcs going on. I’m glad me get to see Spidey beat down Scorpion. I’m extremely confident Sadie Sink is playing Jean Grey after this trailer. I’m super pumped classic Hulk is returning but I’m a little disappointed we haven’t gotten any glimpse of Tombstone yet. In the end, this trailer actually got me pretty hyped and I can’t wait to catch it this summer. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
To celebrate the announcement Happy’s Humble Burger Farm will be free to keep on Steam for a week, starting June 11
Grill burgers, serve customers, and hit your quota before the kitchen turns into a nightmare. When Asset Joy begins her hunt, try to escape alive and extract your hard-earned cash to survive another shift.
Key Features
● COOK, SERVE, HIT YOUR QUOTA: You and your crew are hired to participate in an experiment run by the Paragon Corporation. It sounds like a standard fast-food gig: grill burgers, fry sides, pour drinks, work the register, hit your quota, and keep the customers happy.
● ESCAPE THE NIGHTMARE: Every shift is a ticking clock – the kitchen always wins eventually. Once the simulation collapses, Asset Joy breaks containment and begins her hunt. The iconic mascot is back for blood – and you have only one chance to escape!
● THE WALLS ARE LISTENING: The game reacts to what you say on the mic. Speak the wrong word, and Asset Joy will hear you. Speak the right incantation, and the kitchen warps. Learn how to use your words to your advantage, and what to never say aloud if you don’t want to anger the beast.
● EVERY SHIFT IS UNIQUELY UNHINGED: 35+ modifiers ensure each run goes off the rails in a unique way. Rush Hour brings additional customers for a more profitable yet more chaotic shift. Profanity Policy punishes the team every time someone swears on the mic. Back Burner changes all recipes mid-run. You never know what to expect next.
● EXTRACT YOUR HARD-EARNED CASH: Escape alive, and your earnings come with you. Spend them on boosters, sacrifice them to the ascension ritual to move the story forward, or gamble them on harder contracts for bigger payouts.
● HAPPY’S HUMBLE SAGA CONTINUES: Burgatory is the next chapter in the Scythe Studios Universe, and a direct successor to Happy’s Humble Burger Farm – peeling back another layer of the Paragon Corporation’s reality-warping simulation program. Ready to go down the rabbit hole again?
Happy’s Humble Burgatory will launch on Steam July 16. Follow the developers on X to stay in the loop.
