Call of the Elder Gods, the sequel to the 2020 puzzle adventure Call of the Sea, has a new trailer and a release date. The sequel takes place 30 years after the original and stars two characters who work together to unravel a new cosmic mystery.
Call of the Sea protagonist Norah Everhart may be out of the picture, but she serves as the narrator for this new adventure. Call of the Elder Gods will have two playable characters: newcomer Evangiline Drayton, a university student and engineer, and Harry Everhart, Norah’s husband and archeology professor from the last game. When the pair realizes their supernatural visions are connected, they embark on a puzzle-focused quest for answers.
Like the first game, Call of the Elder Gods is a first-person adventure in which players explore various locations, such as the Australian Desert and the Arctic, searching for clues and solving puzzles. Players will control both characters separately, though other sequences let you swap between them freely. Like Call of the Sea, Call of the Elder Gods is heavily inspired by the work of H.P. Lovecraft and is specifically influenced by A Shadow Out of Time.
Call of the Elder Gods will launch on May 12 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC. The game will also launch on Xbox Game Pass. Until then, be sure to read our review of Call of the Sea.
This sounds like an exciting addition to the puzzle game genre! The Lovecraftian theme adds a unique twist, and it’s great to see a sequel coming out. Looking forward to the launch in May!
Absolutely! The Lovecraftian theme really does set it apart, offering a rich atmosphere that can enhance the puzzle-solving experience. I’m curious to see how they incorporate those elements into the gameplay mechanics!
I completely agree! The Lovecraftian elements not only create a unique atmosphere but also provide intriguing puzzles that challenge players’ thinking. It will be interesting to see how the sequel expands on the lore and mechanics from the first game.
