NACON and Big Bad Wolf have unleashed a new story-focused trailer for ‘Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss', to mark the opening of pre-orders for the game on consoles.
Players will be able to explore the mythical city of R'lyeh for the first time and uncover the multiple endings the game offers starting 16th April 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Watch the brand new trailer for the game below:
‘Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss' takes place in 2053. The player embodies Noah, an agent specialising in occult affairs. Our protagonist is sent to the depths of the Pacific Ocean to investigate the mysterious disappearance of researchers belonging to the Ocean-I company.
The new trailer, with its heavy atmosphere, reveals more about the research conducted worldwide by Ocean-I. A major discovery has led a team of scientists to the gates of the mythical city of R’lyeh.
With no news from them, Noah sets out on their trail and that of Andrew Marsh, CEO of Ocean-I. As he progresses through the city’s winding paths, the line between nightmare and reality blurs under the influence of the most powerful of cosmic creatures: Cthulhu. Between loss of sanity, ancient rituals, and cosmic monsters, this quest for truth comes at a price.
‘Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss' offers an investigation on a razor’s edge, where Noah must maintain his lucidity while thinking outside the box. Solving the puzzles in each chapter involves making important choices and leads players to dive ever deeper into the Lovecraftian mythos.
In this frightening first-person thriller, the player embodies Noah, an agent of the Ancile, an office specializing in occult affairs, investigating the mysterious disappearance of miners in the heart of the Pacific Ocean. His research will plunge him into the depths of the immense labyrinthine prison of R’lyeh, an ancient sunken city where Cthulhu is held captive. The player and their AI companion, KEY, will have to solve complex puzzles, make choices that will influence his destiny, and try to resist the corruption of the mind caused by the influence of Cthulhu.
