ABUTTON will conduct the second playtest for its co-op roguelite FPS 'Guns and Dragons' from September 17 to 23 on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
This playtest introduces the new elf character 'Eryn', first revealed at Gamescom 2026, alongside a new weapon class, the Bow. Eryn uses spirit flowers to detect and attack nearby enemies, and can harness wind to push enemies back or maintain aerial combat. High mobility utilizing super jumps and gliding is another key feature.
Bows serve as the second weapon class available to players following firearms. A total of 23 weapons are included across four types: Elven Bow, Heavy Bow, Crossbow, and Stinger. Fired arrows remain embedded in enemies or terrain after impact, and certain weapons can shatter them to trigger additional effects.
ABUTTON stated that its first playtest in late July recorded 100,000 tester applications worldwide. Incorporating player feedback from that test, the studio revamped the roguelite progression system to be more intuitive and adjusted effects so players can feel growth and build changes more clearly within a single run.
The combat space has also been expanded to allow mid- to long-range engagements to occur naturally. Starting with this test, up to 4-player co-op play is supported, and the development team plans to continually refine the experience based on gameplay data collected during the test period.
'Guns and Dragons' is a game where up to four players cooperate in a hextech-based fantasy world to battle hordes of monsters, including dragons. Players evolve various weapons—such as firearms and bows—in each battle, and between runs, they can expand their base or upgrade equipment. Steam Early Access for the PC platform is scheduled for 2026.
ABUTTON Director Junwoo Park said, "Bows are not simply firearms reskinned into bows, but a weapon class with an entirely different rhythm that continues to influence combat even after firing a shot." He added, "We reflected the feedback from the first test across the overall progression system, and we are supporting 4-player co-op starting from this test as requested by many in the community."
