Panache Digital Games, the studio behind Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, today unveiled 1666: Amsterdam, a dark third-person story-led action-adventure game from creative director Patrice Désilets, with a world premiere trailer showcased during Summer Game Fest.
A free playable prologue lasting approximately 30 minutes is available now on Steam and Epic Games Store. The Prologue of 1666: Amsterdam offers a first glimpse into a world shaped by centuries of hidden influence. Step into Noa’s Commencement as she takes on the mantle of the Collector, and begins to understand the role she was born to fulfill.
“It’s been a long time coming, and I couldn’t be prouder of our team of nearly 70 talented developers in Montreal. For the past six years, we’ve focused on one thing above all else: the game itself. No fake footage, no vertical slices, just a playable experience evolving build after build, day after day,” shares Patrice Désilets, Creative Director at Panache Digital Games.
“Today, we’re finally ready to invite players into that process. The free prologue available now on Steam and Epic Games Store is only a small taste of what’s to come, an amuse-bouche before a nine-course dinner, an introduction to the world, its characters, and its different time periods. We hope players will enjoy discovering it as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.
Merci and Panache Coliss!”
The full game is set to launch in Early Access on PC in 2026, with console versions planned for a later date. Store pages for both the prologue and the full game are now live.
