What Happened
Out of the Blue Games has announced its next title, Call of the Elder Gods, a direct sequel to its 2020 game Call of the Sea. The game is set in the 1950s and begins in Arkham, Massachusetts, featuring a new protagonist, Miskatonic University physics student Evangeline Drayton. She is accompanied by Professor Harry Everhart, the Dean of Archaeology and husband of the first game's protagonist, Norah Everhart, who serves as the sequel's narrator. Player choices made in Call of the Sea will influence Norah's fate in this new story.
Why this Matters to You
If you enjoyed the atmospheric, deduction-based puzzles of Call of the Sea, this sequel appears to expand that core experience with a new mystery and a wider range of locations to explore. Your past decisions could shape the narrative of this new adventure. The game's incorporation of the Cthulhu Mythos and historical settings like a Nazi stronghold in Norway suggests a blend of cosmic horror and pulp adventure that could appeal to fans of both genres.
What's Next
The game is currently in development. Players who have not yet experienced Call of the Sea may want to play it first to establish the narrative connections that will carry into the sequel. The developer, Out of the Blue Games, will likely share more details on release platforms and a launch window in the future.
