Panache Digital Games released the second gameplay commentary video for its action-adventure game 1666: Amsterdam on July 30, 2026. The video, titled "Noa & Aaron | Two Characters, Two Centuries, One Mission," introduces the two main characters and the game's central conflict. The studio is led by Patrice Désilets, known as the creator of the Assassin's Creed series. Set in Amsterdam, where supernatural events occur every 333 years, the story crosses between 1666 and 2000. Noa, living in 1666, works as an apothecary apprentice but is secretly the heir of the Xandaris family, which holds ancient knowledge. Her mission is to capture the Originals, beings corrupted by the forbidden magic called Nux, using the Heeparan artifact and the Nuifer document. Aaron, a university teacher in 2000, visits Amsterdam with his lover to celebrate the new year but is caught in a ritual and time-slips to 1666, ending up in the body of a black cat. He gains cat-like mobility and special vision to see invisible things, supporting Noa from the shadows. The game is scheduled for early access on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in the latter half of 2026, with a playable prologue demo available now.

This re-reveal comes nearly 15 years after development began.
