Voidmaw LLC has confirmed that Katanaut will be making an appearance at the Future Games Show: Live from Gamescom 2025 on August 20 — and they’re teasing some big news during the showcase. If you’ve been curious about this fast-paced, cosmic roguelite, this is the time to tune in.
About Katanaut
Blending metroidvania exploration with the intensity of 2D action-platformers, Katanaut drops you into a massive space station that’s gone completely off the rails. A mysterious accident has twisted its inhabitants into nightmarish forms, and now the whole station is spiraling into chaos. Armed with melee weapons, firearms, and magic-like abilities, you’ll need to cut through hordes of horrors while piecing together what went wrong—if you can survive its shifting, deadly corridors.
The game’s Souls-like combat rewards quick thinking and smart play, while each run challenges you to try new builds, perfect your combos, and adapt to the station’s ever-changing threats.
