Panache Digital Games has announced that their third-person action-adventure title 1666: Amsterdam will launch into Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store on August 25. The devs forecast that the game will remain in the service for about a year, with “multiple major updates adding new content to the game at regular intervals.”
In addition to the Early Access announcment, the devteam has released a new gameplay feature video, showcasing the core gameplay systems players will master throughout their journey as Noa and Aaron.
The video offers an in-depth look at the game’s investigation mechanics as players hunt the mysterious Originals across Amsterdam. It also showcases combat, the day and night cycle, Noa’s mystical abilities, Aaron’s feline gameplay, and how both characters combine their unique skills to uncover hidden truths and restore the balance of the world.
1666: Amsterdam centres around the eponymous city that was built on wealth, power, and sheer will, but now fuelled by a sinister force it did not forge. Entities known as The Originals have lived for centuries, granted time, granted power, and the freedom to abuse both. That power is now owed. Noa Brooklyn was born The Collector, raised by the Zaindaris for a purpose she did not choose: taking that power back.
