E3 2016: Watch The First Trailer For The Official ‘Call Of Cthulhu’ Video Game!

Briefly: Did you know there was an official Call of Cthulhu video game in the works?

Yeah, neither did I.

It’s in the works from Cyanide Studios (Styx: Master of Shadows, Blood Bowl) and will be published by Focus Home Entertainment on PS4, Xbox One, and PC sometime in 2017.

The game is being marketed as an “RPG-Investigation title, packed with psychological horror and stealth mechanics,” and will bring “to life a disturbing world that players will have to explore and investigate while Cthulhu, the Great Dreamer, prepares its awakening.”

Yeah, it’s definitely on my radar now.

In Call of Cthulhu, players will control Edward Pierce, a former veteran and private investigator in 1920s Boston. Pierce will be investigating the tragic and mysterious death of Sarah Hawkins and her family in Darkwater Island. The game’s E3 Trailer showcases this disturbing Island and the eerie Hawkins Family Mansion, and gives a glimpse at how the intensity of the investigation will slowly start chipping away at your Sanity.

Insanity and the Cthulhu Mythos have long been entwined – as your investigation brings you closer to Cthulhu’s sphere of influence, madness will progressively engulf your senses, leaving you to increasingly question what is real and what is illusory. They say that madness is the only way that can bring you to the truth and you will have to balance your sanity against your determination to discover it!
