"Cthulhu: Cosmic Abyss Unveiled by The Council

Big Bad Wolf, the acclaimed studio behind *Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong* and *The Council*, has unveiled its most ambitious project yet: Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. The reveal arrived with a stunning CG trailer that pulls players into a world of psychological dread, introducing Noah—a tormented protagonist caught between unraveling mystery and descending madness. Set against the eerie backdrop of the sunken city of R'lyeh, the game confronts players with the legendary Great Old One himself: Cthulhu.

The story unfolds in the year 2053, where deep-sea corporate mining operations awaken an ancient, unfathomable evil from the ocean’s abyss. You play as Noah, a skilled agent of Interpol’s covert Occult Affairs division, dispatched to investigate the sudden and unexplained disappearance of an entire mining crew in the Pacific Ocean. Armed with logic, instinct, and an AI companion named Key, you’ll navigate submerged ruins, decode cryptic lore, solve complex environmental puzzles, and fight to preserve your sanity as Cthulhu’s influence seeps into your mind.

Built on Unreal Engine 5, *Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss* delivers surreal, reality-warping visuals that blur the line between nightmare and reality. The official trailer is now live, offering a chilling first look at what promises to be a deeply immersive and atmospheric horror experience. Mark your calendars—this highly anticipated title is scheduled for release in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

In related news, Frogwares has released new gameplay footage for The Sinking City 2, another Lovecraft-inspired adventure that expands on the eldritch mystery and open-world investigation mechanics fans loved in the original. Stay tuned for more updates as both titles approach launch.
