Warsaw, Poland — November 13th, 2024 — No one understands inner demons and deep-rooted human flaws better than Wiktor Szulski, a seasoned thaumaturge who perceives the subtle imprints of human emotion while hunting folklore-inspired monsters hidden beyond the veil of reality. Developed by Fool’s Theory, The Thaumaturge, a historically rich, character-driven RPG set in 1905 Warsaw, will arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on December 4th. A playable demo is currently available on both consoles.
The game follows Wiktor, a world-weary thaumaturge returning to his roots in Warsaw—a bustling city teeming with cultural diversity, serving as a vivid backdrop for his journey. Wiktor’s story unravels the secrets of his troubled past alongside those of Warsaw’s eclectic residents, representing every facet of the city’s society. Ultimately, he may even uncover the intrigues of Rasputin, a shadowy figure weaving influence at the highest levels of the Imperial Court and within the Tsarist forces occupying Poland.
With his thaumaturgic powers, Wiktor sees beyond the ordinary, manipulating others’ wills to achieve his ends and forming connections with mystical beings known as Salutors. While these entities offer distinct advantages in turn-based combat and detective-style investigations, each also brings a unique burden—whether Pride, Recklessness, or another flaw—which Wiktor must absorb, making their powers a double-edged sword.
