We recently reported on Katanaut, a new roguelike action title heading to Steam later this year. Now, developer Voidmaw LLC has announced that Katanaut will also be heading to consoles and that news of the release date could be shared at the upcoming Future Games Show at Gamescom 2025. Katanaut is an action roguelite, inspired by both metroidvania and 2D action-platformers, where players test their skills as they battle through hordes of enemies and uncover the secrets of what went wrong on a massive space station.
There is still a short Steam demo to try now while we await further news, and in a statement, Voidmaw LLC said. “Voidmaw LLC is excited to announce that Katanaut will be participating in the upcoming Future Games Show Live From Gamescom 2025, and will be announcing big news during the 20 August showcase!”
