Overview
- The game was reintroduced at Summer Game Fest on Friday, June 5, when Désilets and Panache published a free prologue demo on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
- Players control Noa Brooklyn, a Collector witch who investigates by day and confronts demonic Originals at night, and can switch to Aaron, a 1999-era character inhabiting a black cat.
- Panache says the studio of roughly 70 developers will bring 1666: Amsterdam into Early Access later in 2026 before a full launch on PC and consoles.
- The project began at THQ Montreal in the early 2010s, was canceled after THQ’s collapse and Ubisoft’s acquisition, and was later regained by Désilets through legal action.
- The team emphasizes a no-fake-footage, iterative development process where player feedback from the prologue and Early Access will shape the larger three-timeline story spanning 1666, 1999, and the present day.
