Luna Abyss is quietly one of the best shooters of 2026
Luna Abyss is a first-person shooter developed by Kwalee Labs that has launched on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X, with availability through Game Pass. The game stands out as one of the strongest shooters released in 2026 so far.
The game uniquely blends mechanics from multiple acclaimed titles—Returnal, Doom, and Metroid Prime—creating a distinctive action experience. It combines snappy, responsive shooting mechanics with clever platforming elements, offering a compact indie title that punches above its weight in the crowded 2026 shooter landscape.
Luna Abyss arrives at a particularly strong time for the shooter genre. 2026 has already delivered several notable entries including Pragmata with its innovative hack-and-shoot mechanics, Marathon as an extraction shooter option, Mouse: P.I. for Hire as an indie cartoon entry, and Saros as a bullet-hell spectacle. Despite this competition, Luna Abyss has earned recognition as a killer addition to the year’s shooter lineup.
The game’s appeal lies in its ability to take familiar shooter and action-platformer formulas and synthesize them into something fresh and engaging. Its availability across multiple platforms—PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC—alongside Game Pass inclusion makes it accessible to a wide audience of players looking for quality action experiences.
