H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Vampire: The Masquerade — Swansong developers Big Bad Wolf Studio are turning to Lovecraft for their new first-person title, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the immersive storytelling experience will launch in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.

Taking place in the year 2053, an occult threat grows ever more blatant, as strange, incomprehensible events increase in activity. Around the world, as land resources become more scarce, corporations instead turn to the uncharted depths of the oceans. However, they do so unaware of the ancient horror that lies beneath.

You are Noah, an agent of Ancile, which is a secret Interpol division specializing in occult cases. You’ve been tasked with investigating the mysterious disappearance of miners in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Aided by your AI companion, Key, you must explore the vast, labyrinthine prison of R’lyeh—an ancient, sunken city of cyclopean proportions—and resist the creeping madness caused by Cthulhu’s influence. At its core lies a secret that could shatter your understanding of reality.

More secret of a cyclopean alien city inhabited by a Great Old One they mean?
