Guns and Dragons Updates
Post-playtest status, Gamescom 2026 appearance, and how to follow ABUTTON announcements.
Guns and Dragons is in active development at ABUTTON Inc., with a Coming soon listing on Steam and the Epic Games Store. The first Steam playtest (July 30 – August 10, 2026) has concluded, and ABUTTON showcased the game at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, Germany — the European outreach milestone Director Park Jun-woo previewed at ChinaJoy. This Updates Hub tracks post-playtest developments, event appearances, and where to look next so you do not miss second-wave access or launch signals.

Current status — September 2026
The first public Steam playtest is complete. ABUTTON used July 30 – August 10 to validate combat, co-op, and magitech meta with thousands of global players. The Gamescom 2026 appearance (August 5–9, Cologne) followed the ChinaJoy 2026 debut as the next international milestone — the European trade show gave ABUTTON a second large-scale demo opportunity to gauge Western market reception alongside ongoing community feedback.
Both the Steam store page and Epic Games Store listing remain on Coming soon with TBA full release dates. Steam lists Cross-Platform Multiplayer, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing for the retail product — features expected at launch. For post-playtest wishlist strategy, read Release Wishlist.
What happened at Gamescom 2026
ABUTTON returned to a major international stage at Gamescom 2026 (August 5–9, Cologne, Germany), building on the ChinaJoy 2026 momentum. The studio showcased Guns and Dragons with live playable builds on the show floor, continuing its pattern of hands-on community validation before committing to launch dates.
Based on Gamescom-era press materials and social posts from ABUTTON and attending media:
- Playable co-op demos ran throughout the show floor run — attendees experienced the same 1–3 player magitech roguelite loop validated during the Steam playtest.
- New media coverage from European and global outlets provided fresh gameplay impressions, expanding on the ChinaJoy coverage from July.
- Director Park Jun-woo interviews at the show reinforced the game’s casual-accessible roguelite shooter positioning while acknowledging player feedback from the July playtest.
- No new release date was announced — ABUTTON maintained its Coming soon stance while using Gamescom to solidify the game’s Western market presence.

What counts as official news
We treat these sources as authoritative for Guns and Dragons updates:
Steam store page. Release status, system requirements, language support, playtest banners, and Request Access buttons change here first. Wishlist the game if you want Steam client notifications when major milestones hit.
Epic Games Store listing. Confirms cross-store intent and provides a second wishlist path for players who prefer Epic’s launcher.
ABUTTON press releases and interviews. Gematsu, GamesBeat, and other outlets documented the July 28, 2026 trailer drop, playtest dates, and Gamescom 2026 appearances with quoted statements from Game Director Park Jun-woo.
Official Discord. The community server at discord.gg/ubyEsuCSky is linked from wiki Links and typically hosts playtest discussion, bug reports, and staff announcements.
Social accounts. The Steam page references @GunsAndDragons on X/Twitter for marketing beats, trailer drops, and event announcements.
This fan wiki mirrors those sources; we are not affiliated with ABUTTON. Always confirm critical dates on Steam before planning co-op sessions.

How this hub connects to reviews and tools
Updates answer when and where; other hubs answer how and should I play.
- Playtest Review interprets official materials and Gamescom 2026 coverage for quality expectations.
- System Requirements tracks min/rec spec changes if ABUTTON revises Steam tables.
- Getting Started walks new players through wishlist, access, and first run prep.
What we do not report as confirmed
Fan-made roadmap leaks, unverified Epic exclusivity rumors, and invented release dates are excluded. If a datamined string contradicts Steam, we note the conflict and wait for official confirmation.
We also avoid treating influencer preview clips as patch notes unless ABUTTON reposts them through official channels.
