First-person undersea scare-o-puzzler Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss launches April 16, 2026, as announced during last night’s Galaxies showcase of less than blockbustery videogame darlings. It kind of looks like a marginally more combative Soma with less philosophical subtext, which sounds like a solid Friday night to me. It’s also an opportunity for some hipfire scattergun commentary about the Lovecraftian premise of sights beyond comprehension, and how this gels with videogames, an artform that has “video” in the title.
