Games anthology The Immortal John Triptych brings together Four Last Things, The Procession to Calvary, and Death of the Reprobate. It comes complete with never-before-seen bonus features, deleted scenes, and a Quality of Life (QoL) facelift. The “gloriously silly” anthology will be released later this year for consoles.
“Playing a point and click adventure game on a video games console is like reading Rabelais on an e-reader – It’s vile and abhorrent and you ignorant [f***ing] heathens are going to love it,” said developer Joe Richardson in a press release. (Yep, I had to censor that quote, though it makes me laugh.)
These three Pythonesque adventures are made from Renaissance paintings and reckless ambition. Players will pilfer from pirates, conspire with cardinals, and face the Four Last Things. The silly, intelligent trilogy is rounded out with luscious landscapes and preposterous portraits. Players and critics alike are taken with the three titles, with Overwhelmingly Positive ratings on Steam and an average of 80.7 on Metacritic.
Here are the game’s key features, via Akupara Games:
- Puzzling Pilgrimages – A traditional narrative adventure game, with a modernized interface. Control your character(s) via direct control, interact with people and places with a snazzy ‘verb coin’ interaction menu, and drag and drop (or hoard) your precious items from a simple drop-down inventory.
- Renaissance Artwork – Renaissance, Rococo and even a hint of Romanticism, to be a little more precise. Hundreds of paintings, spanning hundreds of years, are all brought together into one consistent world.
- Classical Music – A mix of publicly available classics and works from musician Eduardo Antonello populate the Triptych’s airwaves. Period-appropriate music that adapts as the story progresses, recorded using real medieval/Renaissance instruments.
- Standalone Story – Four Last Things, The Procession to Calvary, and Death of the Reprobate feature unique stories with recurring characters/themes all within the same world.
- Highbrow Buffoonery – Lofty subject matter is treated with gleeful flippancy. Gags about butts are taken very seriously. But rest assured, while some of the jokes may be ridiculous, the puzzles make perfect sense! (or at least adhere to a consistent internal logic)
- Fully Remastered – Unified UI overhaul across the board, never-before-seen deleted and bonus scenes, QoL improvements, full controller support, and an arm in the air waving like it just doesn’t care. The Immortal John Triptych brings the ultimate Joe Richardson experience to the forefront.
Developed by Joe Richardson Games and published by Akupara Games, The Immortal John Triptych will be released for PlayStation 5, Switch 2, Switch, Xbox Series, and Xbox One later in 2026. PC players will be able to purchase the bonus goodies in the Immortal John Triptych: Weird Extra Content Art Gallery DLC Thing-y. A free QoL update has been released for all three titles.
