Publisher Nacon and developer Big Bad Wolf Studio shared a story trailer for Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, their new sci-fi psychological Lovecraftian horror game.

Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus the new trailer:

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss takes place in 2053. The player embodies Noah, an agent specializing 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.

Today’s 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.

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a release set for April 16th, 2026.
