Guns of Eschaton: A Unique Soulslike FPS Inspired by the Wild West

Tragic news hit the gaming world last year when Viktor Antonov, the brilliant art director known for his work on iconic titles like Half-Life 2 and Dishonored, passed away at 53. Antonov was a creative force, deeply influencing the visual style of modern gaming.

Before his untimely departure, he teamed up with Dmytro Kostiukevych, Fuad Kuliev, and Boris Nikolaev to establish Eschatology Entertainment in 2022. The crew was hard at work on their debut project, but details remained under wraps until now.

Today, we’ve finally got the scoop on their first game, and it’s called Guns of Eschaton. This title is being touted as the “world’s first soulslike FPS,” which is quite a bold claim! Combining the intense gameplay mechanics of the soulslike genre with first-person shooter elements set in a Wild West backdrop sounds like a recipe for an exciting adventure.

Stay tuned as more details unfold about this intriguing project, and let’s celebrate Antonov’s legacy through the worlds he helped create!
