We’re still waiting on the release date for Cyanide’s RPG investigation game Call of Cthulhu, which centers on a character named Edward Pierce and his efforts to piece together the mysterious death of a family on Darkwater Island near Boston, Massachusetts. As expected, cultists and one of the Great Old Ones begin to reveal themselves as Pierce digs deeper into the mystery.
The game was originally set to be released last year, but development delays have pushed it to this year. Ahead of E3, the official website for the game has launched, which indicates that more information, and that release date we’ve been waiting for, will be coming soon. In the meantime, you should bookmark and peruse the site.
In the game…
“Faced with terrors beyond human comprehension, you must delve deep into the secrets that lay beneath the surface of the Darkwater Island community. Speak with the island’s inhabitants, overcome deadly horrors and discover cryptic clues, in a desperate attempt to expose the terrible truth at the heart of the Hawkins case.
Investigation comes in many forms. Will you talk to characters to learn their secrets, or look around on your own? A friendly ally may provide a much-needed distraction or reveal a path to progress but picking a lock or stealing a key is equally viable. Despite his experience in the Great War, Pierce is not a fighter, and you will need to find solutions to your problems that don’t involve a fist fight or gunning down the inhabitants.”
Call of Cthulhu will be available for PlayStation 4, XBox One and PC.
