1666: Amsterdam

1666: Amsterdam is developed and published by Panache Digital Games, the studio founded by Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Désilets. It enters Steam and Epic Games Store Early Access on August 25, 2026, for Windows. Set in a supernatural version of 17th-century Amsterdam, players investigate demonic entities hiding behind human faces, switching between Noa, heir to the mysterious Zaindaris, and Aaron, a man trapped centuries out of his own time inside the body of a cat.

Über das Spiel

1666: Amsterdam splits its gameplay between two very different characters working toward the same goal. Noa fights using a mix of witchcraft and melee combat, drawing on abilities tied to her role as the Collector. Aaron instead relies on stealth and manipulation, coercing non-player characters and slipping into restricted areas that Noa’s more direct approach can’t reach.

A day-and-night cycle shapes how investigations unfold, since the city’s secrets and the Originals hiding within it behave differently depending on the hour. Players track down clues throughout Amsterdam’s canals and streets, piecing together a mystery that stretches back to contracts sealed centuries before the story begins. The Early Access launch includes roughly 15 hours of the campaign’s first chapter, with Panache planning a full year of additional content updates before the game’s eventual 1.0 release.
