Where to buy End of Abyss on PC
The PC version is sold only on the Epic Games Store. It is not on Steam or any other PC store, because Epic Games Publishing publishes the game. The developer's website lists the platform as "PC (Epic Games Store)."
It costs $29.99, and buying it also gives you the free Cel Outfit in Fortnite. Pre-purchase is open now. See the Epic Games Store page for how to buy.

Engine and technology

Co-founder Mattias Ottvall said the team kept working with Unreal Engine, the same engine they used at Tarsier Studios. No PC graphics settings, upscaler support or frame-rate options have been detailed yet.
Controller or keyboard and mouse?
End of Abyss plays as a twin-stick shooter: move with one stick and aim with the other. Every public preview was played on a controller. Keyboard and mouse bindings, and whether keys can be rebound, have not been detailed yet.
If you have a controller, it matches how the game was shown. See the controls page for the confirmed layout.
Not on Steam
There is no Steam version and none has been announced. There is also no official Steam Deck statement, and pre-launch videos claiming Steam Deck gameplay are unreliable. See Is End of Abyss on Steam?.
PC price and bonus
End of Abyss costs $29.99 on the Epic Games Store, the same as on consoles. There is only one edition. Pre-purchase is open now, and the purchase includes the Cel Outfit for Fortnite, which arrives on October 1 at 8 PM ET.
The PS5 version is cheaper for PS Plus members before launch ($26.99), but on PC the Epic price is the only option. Details are on the pre-order page.
How End of Abyss plays on PC
End of Abyss is a single-player, top-down twin-stick sci-fi horror game with Metroidvania progression. You explore an abandoned underground compound as Cel, using a Scanner to tag doors, weak walls and enemies on your map. Fragments collected from enemies and chests are spent at workbenches on ammo, gear and permanent upgrades.
Combat centres on an infinite-ammo pulse pistol with a charged shot, a limited-ammo shotgun, grenades and flares. There is a stamina-free dodge roll and limited healing that refills at save points. The beginner guide explains how these systems fit together.
