Hey there Cthulhu, down there in your sunken city…
[Update:That was quick. Focus Home Interactive and Cyanide have sent over a pair of screenshots and some new information about the game.
Call of Cthulhuwill be an ‘Investigation-RPG’ (whatever that is) with stealth mechanics, as you’d probably expect from a psychological horror game.
It’s due to be released sometime in 2017 for consoles and PC, and we’ll be hearing more about the game in the coming months.]
It’s been two whole years now since that newCall of Cthulhugamewas announced. Long, long ago,Sherlock Holmesdeveloper Frogwares and publisher Focus Home Interactive showed off some mighty fine looking bits of art that really nailed the H.P. Lovecraft feel. And then it just vanished…
Now, two years later,the game has finally clawed its wayout of the deep’s sweet embrace… but something about it has changed since it’s been gone. There’s a new developer attached:Styx, Blood BowlandArklash: Legacydeveloper Cyanide.
It’s an interesting change of events because Frogwares is also not going with Focus for its upcomingSherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughterlike it did withCrimes and Punishments.I’d love to have been privy to some of the meetings between the two companies to find out what happened between them.
Still, I know they’re often a bit on the janky side but I’ve consistently liked Cyanide’s games.Of Orcs and MenandStyx: Master of Shadowswere fantastic,Arklashwas difficult but really neat, and evenGame of Throneswas an enjoyable few hours. I’m pretty excited to see how they’ll handle the Cthulhu mythos.
There’s not much else we know about the game right now, but apparently we’ll be getting thefull website– presumably with more info and hopefully a few screenshots – “soon.”
