Panache Digital Games released the Early Access version of 1666: Amsterdam for PC on August 26, 2026. The studio, led by Patrice Désilets, plans four major updates over the next year.
Panache Digital Games has been developing 1666: Amsterdam, a dark fantasy action adventure set across three eras of the city: 17th-century Dutch Golden Age, 1999, and modern day. The project has been in development for over a decade, with rights returning to Désilets after a legal dispute with Ubisoft.
The game entered Early Access on PC on August 26, 2026. It is priced at 3,850 yen with a 10% launch discount on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Players control two protagonists: Noah, a witch-raised woman who hunts demons by day, and Aaron, a professor from the year 2000 whose consciousness transfers into a black cat. Supernatural events occur every 333 years.
The art direction, explained by art director Nicolas Cantin in a developer diary, uses distinct styles for each era: Dutch Golden Age oil painting, 1999 cinematic nostalgia, and modern cold realism. The studio released a launch trailer and a free prologue demo before Early Access. Wishlist registrations exceeded 666,666 on August 20. Désilets said the team plans four major updates over the next year, timed to the lunar cycle.
