Cthulhu: Cosmic Abyss Game Announced

Big Bad Wolf, the studio behind critically acclaimed games like Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong and The Council, has unveiled its next project: Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. The announcement was accompanied by a stunning CG trailer introducing Noah, the protagonist battling encroaching madness, the submerged city of R'lyeh, and the terrifying Great Old One, Cthulhu himself.

The year is 2053. Deep-sea mining corporations unwittingly awaken a cosmic horror of unimaginable power. Players take on the role of Noah, an agent with Interpol's clandestine Occult Affairs division, investigating the mysterious disappearance of miners in the Pacific. Aided by Key, his AI companion, players will explore the secrets of the sunken city of R'lyeh, solve challenging puzzles, and fight to preserve their sanity amidst Cthulhu's insidious influence.

Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game promises breathtaking, reality-bending environments that create a truly immersive and unsettling atmosphere. The recently released trailer hints at a gripping and suspenseful adventure. Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is slated for release in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Separately, Frogwares recently shared gameplay footage of The Sinking City 2, another game drawing inspiration from the chilling works of H.P. Lovecraft.
