Call of the Elder Gods Announced for Nintendo Switch 2: Lovecraftian Puzzle Adventure by Kwalee and Out of the Blue Games

Kwalee and Madrid-based Out of the Blue Games have officially announced Call of the Elder Gods, a new Lovecraftian puzzle adventure set to launch on the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 platform.

This title marks the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Call of the Sea, and promises fans an immersive journey into cosmic horror and mind-bending puzzles. Call of the Elder Gods invites players to explore the darkest corners of the Earth as they uncover unspeakable mysteries.

Set primarily at the enigmatic Miskatonic University, the story centers on Professor Harry Everhart and student Evangeline Drayton.

Both protagonists are tormented by visions and dreams linked to a mysterious artifact unearthed a decade earlier.

Their investigation leads them to revelations and ancient horrors that reach far beyond their initial understanding. Returning to the foundation of its predecessor, Call of the Elder Gods expands the object and observation-based puzzle mechanics that distinguished Call of the Sea.

Players are encouraged to carefully examine richly detailed environments for clues, with the added ability to switch between Harry and Evangeline to tackle increasingly challenging, multi-step puzzles set across various times and locations.

The game also offers customizable difficulty settings, allowing players to toggle hints, interface icons, and journal entries as desired.

For those seeking an extra challenge, the inclusion of occult literature within the game world introduces new, reality-warping enigmas to unravel. The game’s adventure spans a variety of atmospheric locations powered by Unreal Engine 5, ranging from the shadowy halls of a New England mansion to the desolate red sands of the Australian outback, frozen wastelands, and uncanny cities outside of time.

The visual experience is complemented by an original soundtrack from award-winning composer Eduardo De La Iglesia, promising an immersive and haunting audio-visual journey. In a nod to classic Lovecraftian lore, Call of the Elder Gods draws inspiration from H.

P.

Lovecraft’s novella 'The Shadow Out of Time.' The narrative delves into themes of family, grief, and sanity, brought to life through full voice acting.

Acclaimed talents Yuri Lowenthal (known for roles in Spider-Man, Arcane, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth) and Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Starfield, Baldur’s Gate III) headline the cast, promising a compelling performance that fans of story-driven games will appreciate. No specific release date for Call of the Elder Gods has been provided yet, but the game’s announcement trailer offers a first glimpse at its visuals and gameplay direction.

Both Kwalee and Out of the Blue Games have confirmed that additional information, including launch timing and eShop availability, will be revealed in future updates.

For now, fans of atmospheric mysteries and the Nintendo Switch 2 can look forward to one of the year’s most intriguing upcoming titles. Stay tuned for more details on Call of the Elder Gods and the latest Nintendo Switch 2 news as they become available.
