Announced today during Summer Game Fest 2025, End of Abyss is a new game from developers Section 9 Interactive. End of Abyss is a top-down, atmospheric action adventure, and it looks really good.
Per the developers, “End of Abyss is an atmospheric action-adventure game set in a dark sci-fi world with an emphasis on exploration, supported by engaging and tense combat. In the depths of a mysterious underground compound, a mission to investigate disturbances of unknown origin spirals into a harrowing descent through a broken and abandoned world. Players take on the role of the young combat technician, Cel, as she uncovers the truth behind the facility’s derelict areas and confronts the monstrous creatures that roam them.“
It gives me a Little Nightmares vibe, and that’s not surprising as Section 9 Interactive is a small studio founded by veteran developers that worked on Little Nightmates 1 and 2, so my initial gut reaction kind of makes sense! I loved both Little Nightmares titles, so I’m definitely keen to check this out.
Key Features:
- Enter the Abyss: Cel descends into the halls of a sprawling complex, where broken machines whisper from the depths, and nothing players encounter is fully human.
- Fight to Survive: Outmatched by twisted horrors, players must upgrade their gear and adapt, pushing their limits just to stay alive against the crushing pressure of the facility you’re trapped within.
- Explore Lost Paths: Players can navigate branching paths and uncover hidden areas using their scanner and the tools unlocked along the way. Pathways open as players grow stronger, allowing them to return to forgotten corridors and secrets once sealed away.
End of Abyss heads to Xbox Series X|S, PS5 an PC via the Epic Game Store.
