Panache Digital Games has set August 25 as the early access launch date for '1666: Amsterdam,' the action-adventure title from the studio founded by Patrice Desilets, creative director on 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' and the 'Assassin's Creed' series. The announcement came with a new video walking through the game's systems.
The game is set in 17th-century Amsterdam and follows Noah, who uses magic and spells inherited over generations to expose the Originals, evil beings hidden among the citizens. The second protagonist is Aaron, a university lecturer who time-travels from 300 years in the future and has been transformed into a cat. Play shifts between day and night: Noah moves through the city during the day, while at night, when the Originals reveal their true nature, players use staves and spells to fight back. The early access version is scheduled for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
