11) Call Of Cthulhu
Platforms: All
Release Date: 2017
Little is known about the new Cthulhu game, which draws inspiration from the macabre mind of HP Lovecraft. What we do know is that Cyanide is in charge of development, a French studio notable for… well, a bunch of cycling games and Styx: Master of Shadows.
Cyanide’s CV might not be faultless, but the atmosphere on show in early previews of Cthulhu is spot on, and if current gaming diets are proof of anything, we have a taste for survival horror more than ever. But it’s Cthulhu’s teaser that proves most interesting. “An investigation-horror game with stealth and RPG elements,” reads the official website description.
RPG, adventure and stealth? That sounds like a good mix, and given the renaissance first-person horror has enjoyed of late, you can expect plenty of scares, too. Though we have little to go on so far, we know it’s slated for a 2017 release and handful of gameplay trailers have helped wet the palette. Pencil this one in.
