Publisher Fictions and Godfall developer Counterplay Games have just announced the release date for their third-person roguelite shooter Armatus. The game will launch for Nintendo Switch 2 on January 7, 2027.

Armatus is a third-person roguelite shooter set among the ruins of Paris, where players will have to fight their way through hordes of demons that have infested the city.

Here’s some additional information:

Armatus is 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.

• Humanity’s Time is Over – The world has ended. Demons overrun once busy streets as reality unravels. Collapse is inevitable. Sequestered behind holy wards, the last survivors believe themselves the only humans left alive. Their only hope is for you to carve a path through the chaos and find their salvation. But the broken pieces of Paris give way to increasingly demonic hellscapes inhabited by ever stronger and more grotesque monsters.
• Fight. Die. Repeat. – 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. To overcome them, evolve your combat style with powerful celestial abilities and passive enhancements. Die and you will revive to fight again. Fight, die, revive, and try again; Push forward to get farther each run and master your arsenal.
• Start Strong, End Godly – From the moment you step into the ruins, you are heavily armed and powerful. Yet you will keep gaining new powers until you have the tools to lay waste to your enemies. Find your favorite lethal combination of guns and powers, from SMGs and shotguns to holy fire and slow time, to truly obliterate everything standing in your way.

To go along with the release date announcement, a new trailer for the game was shared. Check it out below:
