DaRmaZat Daedalic Entertainment and DALOAR have released a chilling new trailer for The Occultist during IGN Fan Fest, revealing unseen gameplay footage, eerie puzzles, and the terrifying entities that haunt the forsaken island of GodStone. The video offers a fresh glimpse into the game’s oppressive atmosphere, highlighting the mystical pendulum’s arcane powers and the haunting mysteries awaiting players when the game launches in 2026 consoles and PC via Steam.
The Occultist follows Alan Rebels, a seasoned paranormal investigator drawn to the abandoned British island of GodStone after the sudden disappearance of his father. Once home to a macabre cult that vanished in the 1950s, the island now lies shrouded in fog and secrets. Armed only with his mystical pendulum—an ancient relic capable of manipulating the world around him—Alan must confront supernatural forces, uncover buried truths, and decide whether some curses are meant to remain unbroken.
The latest trailer emphasizes the game’s focus on narrative tension and environmental storytelling, with glimpses of the pendulum’s five unique mechanics that allow Alan to interact with spiritual energy, solve cryptic puzzles, and alter his surroundings. Every corridor hides danger, and every sound could betray his presence. Direct combat is rare; stealth and cunning are key to survival as players navigate GodStone’s haunted ruins and the malevolent spirits that dwell within.
Powered by next-gen visuals and a haunting original score by Pepe Herrero, The Occultist blends first-person exploration, psychological horror, and occult mystery into one atmospheric experience. As Alan’s investigation deepens, the line between sanity and the supernatural begins to blur—raising one question that lingers beyond the trailer’s end: should every truth really be unearthed?
