Why it matters

One of the few games Epic Games Publishing has carried from announcement to release, a creature horror from a small Swedish studio.

About End of Abyss

End of Abyss comes from Section 9 Interactive, a small Swedish studio, and it is a rare case of a project reaching release under the publishing arm of the company behind Fortnite and Unreal Engine rather than quietly disappearing from the schedule. You play Cel, a young combat technician working through the derelict parts of a facility and whatever has taken up residence there. The weight sits on atmosphere and on working out what happened to the place, not on volume of combat, and the art direction does more of the horror work than the enemy count does.

It launched on October 1, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Two things narrow who this is for. It is a single-player, story-led horror game with a defined ending rather than an open-ended survival loop, and the scope is deliberately contained instead of open-world, which is what a team this size can build properly.
