Frantic Xbox 360 shmup Eschatos is headed to PS4 and Switch

Localizations also headed westward

Today is a day, and that means that it’s time for another old-school shmup to announce a comeback. In this case, it is Qute Corporation’s Eschatos, which will on PS4 and Nintendo Switch in the near futu♚re.

Originally released on Xbox 360 in 2011, Eschatos is a typically fast ‘n’ frantic vertically scrolling shmup, that sees Earth send its hottest intergalactic fighter into battle in order to destroy “Purple Erosion,” a mysterious alien matter that is currently consuming The Moon. Like many modern shmups, Eschatos features flashy visuals and intense bullet-hell action, all backed with a pleasingly retro score. With a bevy of power-ups and weapons on offer, players can battle it out with the alien menace in standard arcade action, o🐟r test their speed and efficiency via a pulse-poundin🌸g Time Attack mode.

Much like its original Xbox 360 release, the new edition of Eschatos will come bundled with two further Qute Corporation shmups: Cardinal Sins and Judgement Silversword — both of which launched on Bandai’s WonderSwan back in the early ’00s.

Eschatos will launch in Japan on Nintendo Switch November 18, with the PS4 release to follow at a later date. Both ports have confirmed western localizations in the pipeline. Eschatos is already available on PC via Steam.
