Worried about a shortage of old-school first-person shooters? Well, perish the thought, as developer ITEM42 and publisher HandyGames announce PERISH, a mythology-inspired first-person co-op shooter arriving on PC on February 2nd. This will come to Window via GOG.com, the Epic Games Store, and Steam, and there's a playable demo on Steam to play right now. Check out the Release Date Trailer and read on for more:

​There is no way back and only one way forward. Enter blood-soaked underworlds inspired by ancient mythologies, all accompanied by a death-metal soundtrack. Face ceaseless battles on the perilous path to Elysium. Stave off a barbarous fate and slay hordes of infernal creatures on the black sands of Purgatory.

Sell their corpses to a glorious priestess in exchange for increasingly powerful melee weapons and firearms. Overwhelm abominable bosses and use the spoils of war to gain entrance to Elysium, where death and gold await thee.

The same lust for gold that motivates your own craving consumes the revenant creatures within Purgatory. Succumb to these dark souls and be forced to lose precious wealth and begin again. Muster up to three friends and reap the tides of merciless hordes together. Deploy co-op-specific gear to support, defend and revive each other on the perilous path toward eternal oblivion.
