Ever since Armatus was announced in early 2026, there has been particular interest in what late-game combat against enemies will look like. According to the plot, Paris is overrun by monsters that the protagonist, a member of a supernatural order, must destroy. Weapons and the character’s special abilities will play an important role in the adventure.
The fresh gameplay video showcased a clash with a pair of dangerous bosses: the Surgeon and the Ghoul. The first enemy boasts high speed: he moves around the arena, attacks from a distance, and then quickly closes the gap to land several melee strikes. The Ghoul acts differently. He lacks mobility, but makes up for it with immense strength and endurance.
The protagonist is able to counter both enemies by alternating between shooting and melee attacks. The combat system looks well thought out and leaves room for experimentation with different builds and individual playstyles. The player must choose tactics considering the unique traits of each foe.
The developers presented the full battle video ahead of the release of Armatus, which is scheduled for January 7, 2027.
