Summary
1666: Amsterdam will enter Early Access later in 2026, and Panache Studios released a free playable prologue on Steam and the Epic Games Store immediately after its Summer Game Fest reveal.
Noa Brooklyn leads the action game as a witch-like Collector hunting demonic "Originals" hidden among humans in an open-world Amsterdam, using magic to expose and destroy them.
Aaron, a man from 1999 transported into the body of a black cat, assists Noa from 300 years in the future and appears to be playable in feline form.
The project marks Panache's first game since 2019's Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey and revives a concept Désilets has been developing for about 16 years.
