Lovecraftian Puzzle Game Call Of The Elder Gods, The Sequel To Call Of The Sea, Gets May Launch Date

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.
