Persona and Metaphor: ReFantazio Composer Leads New Tactical Stealth RPG

Guns Undarkness Demo Arrives at Steam Next Fest

Mark your calendars! Guns Undarkness will launch a free demo during the upcoming Steam Next Fest. This exciting project brings together a dream team: Shoji Meguro (music), Ilya Kuvshinov (character art – known for Ghost in the Shell), and Lotus Juice (music – renowned for his contributions to Persona 3).

Meguro, a veteran composer at Atlus since 1995 (with credits including Shin Megami Tensei and Persona), transitioned to indie development in 2021 while continuing his work with Atlus. Guns Undarkness, a sci-fi stealth action JRPG published by Kodansha Game Creators Lab, is a testament to his independent vision.

Initially unveiled at Indie Live Expo Winter 2021 and successfully funded via Kickstarter in 2022, Guns Undarkness is poised for its demo debut. Experience the game firsthand during Steam Next Fest, starting February 24, 2025. Early Access is slated for later this year.

Inspired by Metal Gear Solid and Persona

Blending the tactical stealth of Metal Gear Solid with the compelling narrative of Persona, Guns Undarkness transports players to a 2045 dystopia teetering on the brink of collapse. As a member of a private military company, you'll embark on critical missions, forge alliances, and unravel the world's secrets to save humanity.

Gameplay seamlessly integrates stealth and turn-based combat. Utilize the environment to your advantage during stealth sections, gaining a crucial edge in subsequent turn-based battles. Master your arsenal of firearms to outmaneuver and defeat your foes.

The demo offers approximately 20 minutes of gameplay, providing a comprehensive introduction to the controls, battle system, weapons, and early-game strategies. Expect around 10 hours of playtime in the Early Access release, anticipated for Spring 2025 on PC. A precise release date is yet to be announced.
