Nacon and Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong developer Big Bad Wolf Studio announced Lovecraftian adventure game Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss launches on April 16, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. A playtest for Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss will take place from October 28 to November 4, and sign-ups are available at my.nacongaming.com.
Here’s an overview of the game, courtesy of Nacon:
In Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, the player takes on the role of Noah, voiced by Jua Amir (who previously worked on Detroit: Become Human), an agent specializing in occult cases. His mission is to investigate the disappearance of miners at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, aided by his personal AI, KEY.
KEY is equipped with a range of useful tools to assist the player in their investigation, such as a sonar for analyzing clues or revealing things that are difficult to see with the naked eye.
While exploring varied environments, both on land and at sea, Noah will face numerous riddles and puzzles that can be solved in different ways. One of the game’s iconic locations is none other than R’lyeh, the city where, according to the myth, Cthulhu is imprisoned; this location has never been depicted in a video game before.
As he progresses through the city’s maze and encounters eldritch horrors, the line between nightmare and reality begins to blur under the influence of the most powerful of cosmic creatures: Cthulhu. If he hasn’t lost his sanity by then, Noah will have to make a decisive choice at the climax of his investigation. Several endings will then become available, depending on the player’s previous actions.
