Big Bad Wolf, the studio behind acclaimed titles like Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong and The Council, has unveiled its latest project: Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. The announcement was accompanied by a stunning CG trailer introducing Noah, the protagonist battling encroaching madness, the submerged city of R'lyeh, and the terrifying Great Old One, Cthulhu himself.
