Big Bad Wolf, the acclaimed studio behind titles such as *Vampire: The Masquerade Swansong* and *The Council*, has unveiled their latest venture: *Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss*. The announcement was accompanied by a striking CG trailer, introducing players to the game's protagonist, Noah, who is struggling with the onset of madness. The trailer also showcases the submerged city of R'lyeh and the iconic Great Old One, Cthulhu.

Set in the year 2053, the narrative unfolds amid corporate deep-sea mining operations that inadvertently awaken an ancient cosmic horror. Players will assume the role of Noah, an agent from Interpol’s secret Occult Affairs division, tasked with investigating the mysterious vanishings of miners in the Pacific Ocean. With the assistance of an AI companion named Key, players will delve into the mysteries of the sunken city of R'lyeh, tackle complex puzzles, and battle to preserve their sanity amidst Cthulhu's maddening presence.

Utilizing the capabilities of Unreal Engine 5, *Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss* promises to deliver surreal, reality-altering environments that fully immerse players in its eerie atmosphere. The trailer, now available for viewing, hints at a gripping and intense gaming experience. The game is slated for release in 2026 and will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

In other news, Frogwares has also released gameplay footage of *The Sinking City 2*, another title drawing inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft's works.
