AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Out of the Blue Games has announced a May 12 release date for Call of the Elder Gods, a puzzle adventure sequel inspired by classic genre tropes and the cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft.
Puzzle adventure fans have a new date to circle on their calendars. Out of the Blue Games has officially confirmed that Call of the Elder Gods will launch on May 12, bringing another dose of atmospheric puzzle solving to PC, current gen consoles, and Nintendo hardware. The reveal arrived alongside a new trailer showcasing the game's distinct world and puzzle design.
Players stepping into this sequel will take control of familiar faces, including Harry Everheart from the original 2020 title alongside a second playable character named Evangeline Drayton. The narrative follows the pair as they deal with unsettling visions that push them to travel across the world in search of answers. Expect the puzzle mechanics to lean heavily into classic genre traditions, featuring multi-part spatial challenges and symbol matching that require coordination between the two protagonists across different locations and timelines.
While the project draws creative inspiration from the cosmic horror concepts of H.P. Lovecraft, specifically pulling from A Shadow Out of Time, the developers are focusing purely on the eerie atmospheric elements of that legacy. For players wanting to test the waters before launch, a playable demo is currently live on Steam. You can read the original coverage over at Rock Paper Shotgun.
