The new Cthulhu game is currently being developed by Cyanide and in it you will have to solve the mysteries surrounding the Hawkins family’s strange death.
We just got a brand new trailer for the game that is being published by Focus Home Interactive, but this time it actually seems like that the video shows snippets from the actual gameplay rather than the previous video, which was the debut trailer. In terms of mood and atmosphere, the Cthulhu seems to be very similar to Dontnod’s newest game, Vampyr. It also shows similarities with another Focus Home published game, The Council, which is an episodic title still waiting to be finished and is being developed by the team of Big Bad Wolf.
We’ve also got to learn some new info thanks to the official overview of the game, which you can read here:
‘Call of Cthulhu, the official video game inspired by Chaosium’s classic pen and paper RPG, today defines madness in its heart-pumping E3 Trailer! Uncover the chilling mysteries of this Narrative RPG game, descending deep into a world of cosmic horrors, creeping madness, and shrouded Old Gods within Lovecraft’s iconic universe.
1924. Private Investigator Edward Pierce is sent to investigate the tragic death of the Hawkins family in their imposing mansion on the isolated Darkwater Island, off the shores of Boston. Between unfriendly locals and dubious police reports, it becomes clear there’s more to the case than meets the eye. Soon enough, Pierce is plunged into a terrifying world of conspiracies, cultists, and cosmic horrors…
In this world, nothing is as it seems. Sanity is an irregular bedfellow, all too often replaced by the whisperings in the dark. Strange creatures, weird science, and shadowy cults dominate the Cthulhu Mythos, intent on realizing their mad schemes to bring about the end of everything. Your mind will suffer – balancing a razor-thin line between sanity and madness, your senses will be disrupted until you question the reality of everything around you. Trust no one. Creeping shadows hide lurking figures… and all the while, the Great Dreamer prepares for his awakening.’
Call of Cthulhu is out in 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
