Cyanide Studio and Focus Home Interactive unveil the investigation RPG Call of Cthulhu
The tortured universe imagined by H.P. Lovecraft will come to life on consoles and PC in 2017, with a video game adaptation of Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu tabletop RPG. Over the decades, the Cthulhu Mythos has become one of the greatest universes ever imagined, inspiring countless stories, novels and even films since the original publication of Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu". Today, discover the game's first images, showcasing the dark and oppressive atmosphere of environments created with Unreal Engine 4.
Developed by Cyanide Studio, Call of Cthulhu is an investigation RPG combining psychological horror and stealth elements within a deeply immersive universe. Sent to an isolated island to uncover the truth behind the death of an artist and her family, the player will quickly discover a far more disturbing truth, as the Great Old One, Cthulhu, prepares to awaken..."We are delighted that Focus has entrusted us with developing the adaptation of a tabletop role-playing game as legendary as Call of Cthulhu. Having been a fan of the license for a long time, working with our long-standing publishing partner Focus on such an original and exciting project is once again a privilege, and we hope to deliver a game worthy of the fans' long wait." Patrick Pligersdorffer – CEO of Cyanide Studio
"We are very honored by this new partnership with Cyanide, which has grown alongside us for nearly 10 years and has now established itself as one of Europe's leading independent studios. Through titles such as Styx: Master of Shadows and the Blood Bowl series, they have demonstrated the studio's creativity and ability to deliver solid gaming experiences in original universes.
The studio has wanted to adapt Call of Cthulhu for years. Today, they have everything they need to create a game that will delight fans of the universe and, more broadly, players around the world seeking rich and original experiences." Cédric Lagarrigue – President of Focus Home Interactive
