Ethereal entities called the Salutors haunt the city, preying on the weaknesses of the citizens. Players follow Wiktor Szulski, a thaumaturge who returns to Warsaw to settle family concerns. But Warsaw isn’t the same anymore, crime and societal conflicts now plague the city. As a thaumaturge, Wiktor can tame the Salutors and utilize their mystical abilities in combat. While some may see these as a curse, they can also be a gift to bring an enemy to their knees.

The Thaumaturge will release February 20, 2024 for PC. A console release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S is set to launch at a later date.
