Armatus has released a new gameplay video showcasing The Ghoul and The Surgeon, a boss duo blocking your path to the Sunless Gate. Developer Counterplay Games and publisher Fictions released the footage ahead of the third-person roguelike’s January 7, 2027 launch.
The game is coming to PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Watch The Ghoul and The Surgeon Boss Battle
The new boss fight video features commentary from Ryan Belmont, lead producer at Counterplay Games. It presents seamless gameplay from a major encounter, offering a focused look at combat rather than a montage of separate fights.
The Ghoul and The Surgeon appear as a paired challenge during the pursuit of the Sunless Gate. Counterplay says your build choices dictate how you approach the confrontation, making the encounter a test of the setup you bring into battle.
Build Choices Shape Your Approach
The focus is the relationship between character builds and combat. For a roguelike, that makes this encounter a useful subject for a longer gameplay presentation: it shows a specific obstacle against which those choices matter.
If you’re following Armatus, this is a chance to see how its third-person action plays out during a major fight. Belmont’s voiceover accompanies the encounter, providing a developer-led presentation of the battle.
Counterplay and Fictions have not included a breakdown of equipment, upgrades, or build categories in the accompanying announcement. The central point is that the same boss duo can demand different approaches depending on your choices.
