1666: Amsterdam has had a long and troubled development, but that journey is finally coming to an end. Panache Digital Games has announced that 1666: Amsterdam will launch in Early Access on August 25 for PC.

In case you missed it, 1666: Amsterdam is a dark, story-driven action-adventure game led by Assassin's Creed co-creator Patrice Désilets. Much like the modern-day and historical split in Assassin's Creed, 1666: Amsterdam explores different time periods, where players control Noa, the "Collector", tasked with hunting down demonic entities hiding among humans.

Along with the announcement, the team also released a new video showing off the core gameplay systems players will experience as Noa and Aaron, a man summoned from 1999 who now sees the world through the eyes of a cat. In it, Co-Founder and Executive Producer Jean-François Boivin offers the most in-depth look yet at the game's investigation mechanics, as players hunt down the mysterious Originals across Amsterdam.

It also shows off combat, the day-and-night cycle, Noa's mystical abilities, Aaron's feline gameplay, and how the two characters can combine their unique skills to "uncover hidden truths and restore the balance of the world":

Don't forget to wishlist 1666: Amsterdam on Steam and the Epic Games Store ahead of its Early Access launch. You can also play the prologue for free right now. It's 30 minutes long and introduces you to the game's world, characters, atmosphere, and central mystery.

1666: Amsterdam won't support Steam Deck at launch, while console versions are planned for a later release. Panache Digital Games frequently publishes devlogs and other videos that offer an inside look at the game's development:
