Big Bad Wolf, the studio behind critically acclaimed games like Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong and The Council, has unveiled its next ambitious project: Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. The announcement was accompanied by a stunning CG trailer, introducing players to Noah, the protagonist battling encroaching madness, the submerged city of R'lyeh, and the terrifying Great Old One himself, Cthulhu.
The year is 2053. Deep-sea mining corporations unwittingly awaken a cosmic horror of unimaginable power. Players assume the role of Noah, an agent with Interpol's secretive Occult Affairs division, investigating the mysterious disappearance of miners in the Pacific Ocean. Aided by Key, a sophisticated AI companion, players will delve into the secrets of the sunken city of R'lyeh, solve challenging puzzles, and desperately fight to retain their sanity amidst Cthulhu's insidious influence.
Built using Unreal Engine 5, the game promises breathtaking, reality-warping environments that will immerse players in a truly haunting atmosphere. The recently released trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into the tense and thrilling experience that awaits. Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is slated for release in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Meanwhile, Frogwares also revealed gameplay footage for The Sinking City 2, another Lovecraftian-inspired title.
