The Thaumaturge console release date confirmed, demo out now

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for immersive narratives and unique gameplay mechanics, I am absolutely thrilled about the console release of The Thaumaturge! Having spent countless hours on the PC version, I can attest to its captivating storyline, intriguing characters, and the mesmerizing blend of combat and exploration.


11 Bit Studios has officially announced that the much-anticipated console launch of The Thaumaturge is set for December 5th, making its debut on both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X.

First appearing on PC on March 4th of this year, it appears that the console edition may not come with a host of additional features. Nevertheless, being an intriguing and one-of-a-kind game, it’s great that more players will have the opportunity to experience it through this release.

Here’s the console date announcement trailer:


 

The demonstration version of the game is currently available on both platforms. If you’re curious about what the game entails, here’s a brief overview:

The story revolves around Wiktor, an experienced mystic making his way back to Warsaw, a vibrant city rich in cultural tapestry, which serves as a colorful setting for his adventure. As Wiktor navigates his complex past, he intertwines with the diverse residents of this city, reflecting various aspects of its society. Intriguingly, he might also expose the hidden machinations of Rasputin, a mysterious figure wielding power at the Imperial Court and within the Tsarist army occupying Poland.

Using his supernatural abilities, Wiktor perceives beyond the commonplace, influencing others’ decisions to further his objectives and forging alliances with enigmatic entities called Salutors. These beings provide significant benefits in strategic battles and detective work, but each one comes with a specific drawback – such as Pride, Rashness or another weakness – which makes their powers a complex blessing and curse for Wiktor.

In our assessment, we awarded the PC edition 8.5 out of 10, noting: “I found myself deeply immersed in its universe, captivated by Wiktor’s background and his bond with his talent, and his long-standing relationship with his mentor. The storyline is rich with surprises and the characters are authentic and diverse, each with their own motives and alliances. The blend of combat and exploration works seamlessly, both elements complementing the central thaumaturgy system throughout the quest. I couldn’t help but keep playing, eager to unravel every detail and explore the extra content. It was a captivating enigma that satisfied my craving for mystery. Granted, it has some technical glitches, but they don’t hamper a game that I found myself becoming engrossed in and would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who appreciates a compelling narrative and a touch of the mystical.

The Thaumaturge is out now for PC, and coming to PS5 and XSX on December 5th.
