Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets and Ubisoft have released early access for 1666: Amsterdam on August 25th for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game, re-revealed earlier this summer in a trailer featuring a witch walking through old Amsterdam streets, fights enemies using magic and a broomstick. Developer Panache Digital unveiled a playable prologue that day, but the game's complex story of overlapping timelines and systems has since become clearer.
The early access release offers around 10 hours of gameplay, which is less than half of what Panache initially envisioned for the full game. Patrice Désilets stated that the timeframe for early access is somewhat flexible, with an end goal in sight, but he is open to adjustments based on community feedback.
In 1666: Amsterdam, players take on the roles of witch Noa in 1666, civilian Aaron in 1999, and Noa's descendant in the modern day. The game casts a spell linking these characters, with Aaron becoming Noa's cat familiar in 1666 and Noa becoming Aaron's cat familiar in 1999. Afterward, the descendent of Noa explores their intertwined tale across different time periods.
