Call of Cthulhu: The Official Video Game is a role-playing survival horror video game developed by Cyanide and published by Focus Home Interactive for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows.
The game features a semi-open world environment and will incorporate themes of Lovecraftian and psychological horror into a story which includes elements of investigation and stealth. It is inspired by H. P. Lovecraft‘s short story ‘The Call of Cthulhu’, while also being an adaptation of the 1981 role-playing game of the same title.
The game follows investigator Edward Pierce who is a private detective in an existential crisis. As the Boston of 1924 doesn’t provide him with any cases, the war veteran flees into consuming alcohol and pills.
However, there is a glimmer of hope when a mysterious case one day lands on his desk. The detective is asked to solve the death of the Hawkins family, who mysteriously died in a fire.
As the only clue is a strange picture painted by the supposedly crazy mother shortly before her death, Edward has to set out to Darkwater Island near Boston, Massachusetts to find out more about the matter and discovers the impending revival of the Great Old One Cthulhu…
The game is released on October 30, 2018 with a Nintendo Switch release possible in early 2019.
