Out of the Blue Games’ sequel to Call of the Sea, Call of the Elder Gods, launches on May 12th. Available on Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC, and PS5, it will also be playable on day one through Game Pass. Check out the latest trailer below, which not only highlights some of the puzzles that you’ll face but also several new environments, surreal and otherwise.
Inspired by The Shadow Out of Time by H.P. Lovecraft, players will control Professor Harry Everhart and his student Evangeline Drayton, who discovered a strange artifact several years prior. As with anything Eldritch-related, it’s had a terrible effect on their sleep cycles, and thus, they venture forth to find some peace of mind.
Much like Call of the Sea, you’ll explore environments and search for clues while solving puzzles, whether it’s in New England, the Australian outback or “otherworldly cities out of time.” You’ll have to switch between both characters at times, and various Occult Books offer “new reality-warping enigmas” to challenge you.
Of course, you can also soften the difficulty by enabling hints and icons. Best of all, the adventure is carried by the talents of Yuri Lowenthal and Cissy Jones, who voice Everhart and Drayton, respectively. Stay tuned for more updates, and in the meantime, check out our review for Call of the Sea.
