October 16, 2025
Hamburg, Germany – October 16, 2025 – Daedalic Entertainment and DALOAR have premiered a striking new trailer for The Occultist during IGN Fan Fest. The video showcases never-before-seen gameplay and deepens the game’s oppressive, supernatural atmosphere - from the pendulum’s arcane powers to cryptic puzzle encounters and the spectral and monstrous beings haunting the island of Godstone.
More than just a preview, the trailer underlines how far development has progressed and teases the haunting journey awaiting players. Each scene draws deeper into Godstone’s decaying streets, where silence hides secrets and every ritual leaves its mark.
The Occultist will descend upon PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC in 2026, drawing players into Godstone’s shadows.
