Big Bad Wolf, renowned for their work on titles such as *Vampire: The Masquerade Swansong* and *The Council*, has just unveiled their latest venture: *Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss*. The announcement was accompanied by a stunning CG trailer that introduces us to the protagonist, Noah, who is battling the creeping threat of insanity. Set against the backdrop of the submerged city of R'lyeh and the looming presence of the legendary Great Old One, Cthulhu, this game promises an unforgettable journey into cosmic horror.
The narrative is set in the year 2053, where corporate greed leads to the awakening of an ancient cosmic terror through deep-sea mining operations. Players will embody Noah, an agent from Interpol's secretive Occult Affairs division, tasked with uncovering the truth behind the vanishing of miners in the Pacific Ocean. Assisted by an AI companion named Key, players will delve into the mysteries of R'lyeh, navigate complex puzzles, and struggle to preserve their sanity amidst Cthulhu’s overwhelming influence.
Leveraging the power of Unreal Engine 5, *Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss* aims to deliver visually stunning, reality-distorting environments that envelop players in its eerie atmosphere. The trailer, now available for viewing, sets the stage for a gripping and intense experience. The game is slated for release in 2026 and will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
In other news, Frogwares has also released gameplay footage of *The Sinking City 2*, another game drawing inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft's works, further enriching the Lovecraftian gaming landscape.
