A new trailer for upcoming puzzle game Call of the Elder Gods, sequel to the 2020 Call of the Sea, just got a new as part of the Future Games Show that reveals new gameplay, a voice over from its new co-protagonist, and a glimpse of some very unnerving silhouettes that aren't even trying to pretend to be human.
A mix of puzzle gameplay and tone-setting VO work, the trailer showcases a wide array of locations that seem to be suggestive of a globe-trotting expedition in the vein of Indiana Jones. In short succession we see strange, alien ruins, shadowy manorhouses, tundra outposts, subterranean bunkers and more besides.
Meanwhile, Cissy Jones as new co-lead Evangeline provides the voice over, speaking of all kinds of things that are surely nothing to worry about. Haunted by impossible dreams? Riddled with grief and guilt? Secrets beyond the human mind? I see nothing bad possibly coming from this, especially in a game that cites the works of H.P. Lovecraft as one of its major narrative influences. And all the puzzles focused on solving strange devices, leading to a shot of some gigantic, tentacled shadow looking down on our two heroes... Well, that can only be innocent, right?
Call of the Elder Gods is currently being targeted for a release in March 2026, to be released on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S, as well as the new Nintendo Switch 2. You can follow the game's progress and latest updates on social media platforms like X/Twitter, via the handle @COTEGGame.
