End of Abyss launched on Thursday, October 1, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game is from Section 9 Interactive AB, a studio formed by three former Tarsier Studios members, and is published by Epic Games Publishing. The stated launch price is $29.99.
The player controls Cel, a young combat technician. A mission to investigate disturbances of unknown origin, deep in an underground complex, becomes a descent through an abandoned world. The official description, quoted by PlayStation LifeStyle, mentions whispering machines and creatures that are not fully human.
What the game promises
The loop mixes action and top-down metroidvania exploration. A scanner helps find paths and hidden areas. Extra tools unlock along the way. As Cel grows stronger, Pathways let the player return to forgotten corridors. PlayStation LifeStyle compares the tone to Alien: Isolation, Dead Space, and The Callisto Protocol, though the camera and structure are not those of a first-person survival horror.
On the PlayStation Store, the report recorded a global player rating of 4.76 out of 5 at the time of publication. On OpenCritic, the cited critic average was 73. PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers can try the full game for one hour. The PC version does not launch on Steam: day-of calendars point the PC release to the Epic Games Store.
The sources consulted do not confirm a Switch or Switch 2 version.
