Worshippers of Cthulhu news & patch notes

Greetings, Worshippers,

From beyond the black waves, a new whisper reaches us, carried not by wind, but by something far older.

The call has spread.

Worshippers of Cthulhu has arrived on Xbox.

The ritual is no longer bound to a single platform. The veil has widened. The cult grows stronger.

Now, whether you gather before your PC altar or your console throne, the Old One hears you just the same.

Now Available on Xbox

The gates have opened, and new acolytes may answer the call from afar. If you have allies yet untouched by madness, now is the time to summon them.

A New Vision Emerges

To mark this expansion of our dominion, a new trailer has surfaced - a glimpse into the horrors that await those who dare to listen.

🎬 Watch the Xbox Launch Trailer:

The cult was never meant to remain small.

It spreads. It seeps. It endures.

Bring forth new followers. Let the chant echo across platforms. Let no soul remain untouched.

The stars are aligning once more.

Hail, Cult Leaders!

The stars have aligned, and the Great Old One stirs—bestowing upon us a most eldritch blessing: a Steam Midweek Deal has descended from the void!

By His will, a 40% discount now graces our sacred offering until August 5th. The cult grows, our faith deepens, and our whispers echo further into the cosmos.

But the madness does not end here. Another boon slithers ever closer: the Artbook and Original Soundtrack, torn from the abyss and soon to be revealed in their full unspeakable glory.

The sacrifices… were worth it.

Acolytes of the Abyss

A new patch slithers forth, weaving refinement into madness and offering clarity amid the chaos. The sigils have been corrected. The scripts, translated. The eldritch architecture, stabilized. And for our Portuguese-speaking brethren, the veil is lifted.

• Portuguese Language Support has been fully added. The gospel of the Great Old One now echoes in more tongues.

• The Remains effect in Chapter III now vanishes once all remains are burned, as it was foretold.

• Save files will no longer disappear under strange and cursed conditions.

• A new notification now appears when a Ceremony becomes ready, ensuring no sacred rite is forgotten.

• New Setting is added which allows you to define the maximum number of auto-saves to be stored - because memory is a fragile vessel.

• Resolved an issue where buildings could be placed beneath stones in Chapter III. The land no longer swallows its own.

• Corrected the Dreamspire quest in Chapter III. The ship count now matches the prophecy.

• The pillar in Chapter IV shall no longer vanish after the chapter’s end. It endures, as do all truths.

• Fixed building placement beneath the bridge in Chapter II. The foundation is now firm.

• The camera shake setting now functions as intended in Chapter IV. Feel the tremor or command the stillness.

• Resolved an issue where the Autocomplete Ritual option vanished after placing the Sacrificial Altar. The rite is restored.

• Camera rotation speed now remains consistent, even after remapping controls.

We thank you, Cult Leaders, for reporting the strange, the broken, the unseen. Your gaze keeps the void in check.

May your horrors grow wise and your rituals precise.

Each is a gift. Each, a curse. All await your command.
