Do you remember Godfall, the PS5 launch title that never really struck a chord with the console's early adopters?

Well, its developer, Counterplay Games, has reappeared — and the team's bringing a new kind of action to Sony's system.

The game's called Armatus, and it's a fast-paced action-shooter with an emphasis on chaotic combat encounters. It's definitely got a bit of Returnal and Saros to it, but seemingly without the bullet hell-inspired enemy design.

Indeed, it sounds like there are roguelike elements to this one as well. The official description on the PS Store 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."

However, you apparently won't have to grind out a bunch of runs just to find your feet. The description continues: "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."

Armatus looks and sounds pretty cool, then, and it's targeting a 'winter' release on PS5. I'm guessing that means it's coming out early next year.
