Prior to 11 bit studios and developer Fool’s Theory showcasing their upcoming dark fantasy RPG The Thaumaturge later this morning, they’ve released a new seven-minute gameplay trailer, showcasing the ‘To Dust, You Shall Return’ quest.
Fool’s Theory will be doing a developer commentary and full gameplay walkthrough stream of The Thaumaturge over on the 11 bit studios Twitch channel later today at 5 PM CET / 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT. Meanwhile, the new trailer focuses on protagonist Wiktor Szulski, and his showdown with the Okhrana, the Tzar’s secret police. Kicking off at the Imperial Hotel, Wiktor meets Swietłana, a member of the Tsar’s court desperate to escape the city. From there, the video moves to the London Bar and a shady neighborhood, where Wiktor encounters equally shady characters.
With Wiktor’s thaumaturgy, players can anticipate their enemies’ moves and call upon the unique skills of ethereal beings known as salutors. Drawing inspiration from folk tales, salutors also allow players to sway people to their will—a persuasive edge in tense situations. But remember, every power has its price. As demonstrated in the trailer, as players progress through the quest, they’ll delve deeper into Wiktor’s abilities, leveling him up to become more adept at influencing people, fighting, and exploring his surroundings.
The Thaumaturge is due out for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG on February 20, followed by later releases on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
