Red Wasp Design to bring Call of Cthulhu to Android in the future
Tuesday, 20 December 2011 12:47
Fully titled Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Lands test, indie developers Red Wasp Design is planning to bring their new title over to multiple platforms in the near future including Android. As you may have guessed, this game is based off the works of H.P. Lovecraft's series of novels from the 1920s.
This new game, slated for release on iOS January 30th 2012 and heading for Android soon after, is a rather dark turn-based RPG which is set during WWI where a team of investigators and soldiers go up against a cult intent on using the slaughter of the Great War to open the doors to an invasion on Earth of rather nasty creatures. This will be a 3D RPG with a top-down perspective on the whole scene with some pretty impressive visuals.
Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot more information available aside from what we see in the new screenshots and what is said in the press release below. Considering what it is based off of and how the screenshots look though, this could be a pretty awesome game when it is finally released onto Android.
'Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land' Screenshots HD Released, Launch Date Announced as 30th January 2012
After much chanting and summoning of dark forces, indie developer Red Wasp Design today announced that the stars will be right for the release of Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land on the 30th January 2012. To seal this pact with expectant gamers they have accompanied the date announcement with a slew of never-before released High-Definition images.
Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land is a turn-based strategy RPG based around the works of cult horror writer H.P.Lovecraft. The game is set in the midst of the First World War and pits a team of soldiers and investigators against an insidious cult intent on using the slaughter of the Great War to open the doors to an invasion of eldritch horrors.
Announced in May this year and set to launch initially on iPhone and iPod (both SD and HD versions), Red Wasp Design then later plan to infect other platforms such as iPad, Android, PC and consoles with their World War One themed turn-based strategy horror. The game has been developed in co-operation with Chaosium, the purveyors of the cult horror role playing game based on Lovecraft's work, Call of Cthulhu. The much loved RPG marked it's 30th year of publication in 2011 and continues to grow in scope and reputation.
