Guns of Eschaton is the final game shaped by Half-Life 2 and Dishonored art director Viktor Antonov

Eschatology Entertainment has revealed Guns of Eschaton, a supernatural Wild West soulslike FPS built on the final creative work of Viktor Antonov — the art director behind Half-Life 2 and Dishonored — who died in 2025 at age 52. The game is now up for wishlisting on Steam, with no release date announced yet.

Guns of Eschaton is pitched as a darkly twisted take on the 19th-century American frontier, following a six-armed lone gunslinger traveling from the West Coast to the East Coast of what the game calls "a dying America." Combat leans on bullet variety and enemy weaknesses alongside soulslike staples — parries, dashes, and limited special ammo — and the game promises deep customization across firearms, ammunition types, occult powers, talismans, armor, and consumables. Full co-op multiplayer is supported alongside solo play. The reveal trailer also teases what appears to be an evil train as one of the boss encounters. Guns of Eschaton is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Antonov's visual fingerprints are on some of the most distinctive game worlds ever made — City 17 in Half-Life 2, the oppressive gothic cities of Dishonored, and contributions to Fallout 4, Prey, DOOM, Wolfenstein: The New Order, and Weird West. His death at 52 cut short a career defined by a bold, immediately recognizable aesthetic that blended industrial brutalism with dark fantasy. Studio head Fuad Kuliev said in a press release: "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." Kuliev added that "Viktor's imagination and creative legacy have been a constant source of inspiration throughout development."

Guns of Eschaton carries obvious weight as Antonov's last project, and the reveal trailer has generated strong early interest. No release window has been confirmed, but the Steam page is live for wishlisting now.
