See a description:
Players join Harry Everhart and Evangeline Drayton on a thrilling journey, set 30 years after the first game, to uncover the truth behind their loved ones’ disappearance. Call of the Elder Gods expands far beyond its predecessor’s island setting, transporting players through time and space to the planet’s most remote corners.
Alongside the announcement, Kwalee and Out of the Blue released a new cinematic-narrated trailer featuring Harry Everhart, voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, as he reflects on the dark secrets uncovered in Call of the Sea and his determination to keep them buried.
KEY FEATURES
All is not well at Miskatonic University. Professor Harry Everhart tries to ignore the shadows creeping into the edges of his vision, while student Evangeline Drayton is haunted by impossible dreams of an artifact unearthed a decade prior. In their search for answers, both will uncover revelations older than anyone could fathom.
Mind-Bending Mysteries
Call of the Sea’s object-based and observational puzzles return with new depth. Scour richly rendered environments for clues. Switch between Harry and Evangeline to solve complex, multi-part puzzles across time and space. Choose your difficulty level with hints, icons, and journal logs. For a true challenge, dare to read the Forsaken Tomes scattered throughout the world and encounter reality-warping new enigmas.
Stunning Wonders
Harry and Evangeline’s journey takes them from the fireplace-lit libraries of a New England manor to Australia’s crimson outback sands, through frozen landscapes and otherworldly cities beyond time—all rendered in stunning Unreal Engine 5 detail with a soundtrack by award-winning composer Eduardo De La Iglesia.
A Shadow Out of Time
Follow Harry Everhart and Evangeline Drayton in their quest for truth about their missing loved ones, coming face-to-face with beings beyond comprehension. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s The Shadow Out of Time, Call of the Elder Gods presents a fully voiced story of grief, family, and sanity, starring returning talents: Yuri Lowenthal (Spider-Man, Arcane, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth) and Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Starfield, Baldur’s Gate III).
