‘Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics’ Hits PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Later This Month

Published

on

With the exception of a few titles, strategy games are more of a PC thing rather than a console thing. That’s not stopping developer Auroch Digital and Ripstone Games from bringing the turn-based strategy RPG Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The Kickstarter-funded game will hit the PS4 on November 20 (November 21st in Europe), and Xbox One on November 23rd. Nintendo Switch users can also expect the game later this year.

If you haven’t had the chance to check out Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics (read Neil’s take on the game, as well as check out Jim’s interview with the team), the game pits you and your band of heroes against the Nazis during WWII. This time, however, the Nazis have conjured up the help of some otherworldly creatures to turn the war in their favour. And you’re stuck behind enemy lines trying to foil the whole thing.

Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics released last month on Steam.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
