Section 9 Interactive and Epic Games Publishing have announced that End of Abyss will launch on October 1, 2026, for Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders are available now across all platforms.
The release date was revealed during Summer Game Fest, alongside a new trailer that showed more of the game’s exploration, combat, and hostile creatures lurking beneath its dark sci-fi setting.
Descend Into the Abyss
End of Abyss follows Cel, a young combat technician sent to investigate strange disturbances inside a massive underground compound.
What begins as a mission quickly becomes a descent into abandoned halls, broken machinery, and derelict spaces filled with creatures that are no longer fully human.
As Cel pushes deeper into the facility, she must uncover what happened there and survive the horrors left behind.
Exploration-Driven Sci-Fi Horror
End of Abyss places a strong focus on exploration.
Players will navigate branching paths, scan the environment, and use newly unlocked tools to access sealed areas. As Cel grows stronger and gains more gear, she can return to older corridors to find hidden routes and secrets.
The setup gives the game a metroidvania-like structure while keeping the tone tense and atmospheric.
Fight to Survive
Combat is designed around being outmatched.
Cel will face twisted creatures throughout the facility and must upgrade her equipment to stay alive. The game emphasizes tense encounters, adaptation, and careful use of resources rather than simple power fantasy action.
