OK, this quote from Cultist Simulator is possibly one of the grimmest things AK ever wrote in the game (the 'Marinette ending' from The Dancer DLC. IYKYK). But I am repurposing it to herald to a good thing and that good thing is some secret Cultist Simulator news! Namely:
Cultist Simulator's coming to console!

This is not a drill!
Cultist Simulator is coming to Xbox and Playstation on 8th August 2024. We partnered with Polish publishers Klabater because a) they clearly know what's what and b) we love the Poles. (I used to date one and AK used to live there. One winter's day his hair literally froze into icicles.)
Cultist Simulator's console UI is heavily based on Playdigious's excellent rework for the Nintendo Switch, which we think is the best way to transform a fundamentally clicky PC-first game to a controller-friendly game. So here are the key details to know:
- Launch date: Thursday 8th August 2024
- Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5
Versions and prices:
- Initiate Edition (game plus mini DLC: Cultist Simulator + Dancer, Priest and Ghoul DLC) - $24.99 / 24.99
- The Exile DLC - $9.99 / 9.99
- Anthology Edition (everything together: Cultist Simulator + Dancer, Priest, Ghoul and Exile DLC) - $29.99 / 29.99

Perhaps some people reading this have hadenough of beingnice andhomey in
BOOK OF HOURS and want to start a new run of hubristic Lovecraftian fun. Maybe you want to go through the game to find something AK wrote that's even more upsetting than Marinette's story. Perhaps you just want the colours beneath the skin of the world. Whatever your motivation, I hope you pick Cultist Simulator up on your platform of choice next month. It's the first time we've ever released any game on console (including any of our work on
Fallen London or
Sunless Sea) so we are excited! Excite alongside us, if you like.
