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 amidst the submerged city of R'lyeh and the looming presence of the Great Old One, Cthulhu.
The year is 2053. Deep-sea corporate mining operations inadvertently awaken an ancient cosmic horror. Players assume the role of Noah, an agent with Interpol's clandestine Occult Affairs division, investigating the mysterious disappearance of miners in the Pacific Ocean. Aided by Key, his AI companion, players will delve into the secrets of the sunken city of R'lyeh, solving complex puzzles and fighting to preserve their sanity against Cthulhu's insidious influence.
Built using Unreal Engine 5, the game promises surreal and mind-bending environments, creating a truly immersive and haunting atmosphere. The recently released trailer hints at a gripping and suspenseful experience. 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 Lovecraftian-inspired title.
