Astracide

The release date for Astracide is July 22, 2026, launching for PC. This wave-survival FPS moves the arena to the astral plane, where players fight through entities fueled by despair using a mix of randomized weaponry and a unique resource called resonance. Unlike many arcade shooters that force a loop, this title allows you to either defeat a final boss to ascend or continue the run indefinitely to see how far a broken build can scale.

Success hinges on managing your resonance meter, which acts as both a power source for abilities like map warping and enemy mind-control and a vital health stabilizer. With nine weapons and a system for fusing upgrades, the depth lies in the crafting and economy rather than just raw aim. It is a focused, mechanical challenge for those who want to manipulate loot tables and theorycraft powerful synergies during a run.

Pick this up if you want a high-speed survival shooter with a heavy emphasis on build crafting.
