What is happening now
1666: Amsterdam is a dark third-person action-adventure set in 17th-century Amsterdam, developed by Patrice Désilets, the creator of Assassin's Creed. The game follows Noa, a woman raised as heir to a witch bloodline, and explores themes of witchcraft and magical combat across a historical open world. The game entered early access on August 25, 2026, priced at $29.99. Recent preview coverage has been cautiously optimistic but tempered by technical concerns. Hands-on impressions highlight the game's ambitious scope and narrative promise - comparing its gameplay DNA to Assassin's Creed while incorporating magical elements and time-travel mechanics - but several reviewers expressed worry about how unpolished the experience felt in its current state. The central tension in coverage centers on whether the early access period will allow the developers to iron out the mechanical rough edges before the game's full release.
