Hi everyone!
You probably have a lot of questions about Magicians: The Devil's Deal, so we've put together this short FAQ to address them.
We'll continue updating it over time as new information comes up.
What is Magicians: The Devil’s Deal?
🪄 Magicians is a dark narrative-driven, first person action game set in a twisted world inspired by 19th century London, where illusions become deadly weapons and power always comes at a cost.
It is an original IP from talented industry veterans at Australian studio Uppercut Games, and delivers a distinct blend of exploration, atmospheric worldbuilding, and high-stakes confrontations. The game also marks the studio’s first collaboration with Focus Entertainment, the publisher.
It is set to release in 2027.
What’s the story?
🎩 Play as Jacob Menteuro, a celebrated stage magician whose talent bordered on the supernatural. Betrayed by his former rivals, the Masters, Jacob is cast into Hell. While his fate of eternal torture and despair seems sealed, the Devil himself enters the scene and offers him a tempting deal: to transform his stage magic into supernatural abilities.
Now bound by this devilish pact, Jacob ventures through Theatreland, defeating each Master to claim new powers and get his revenge.
What’s the gameplay like?
🃏 As you descend through Theatreland, you will discover powerful abilities that expand your control and precision. Stage magic is more than a weapon. It becomes a lethal discipline as cards turn into razor‑sharp projectiles, chains ensnare your enemies, and gravity itself bends to your will. Each Realm is ruled by powerful Masters and filled with relentless fanatics and nightmarish performers. Every encounter demands observation, adaptation, and mastery, pushing you to turn spectacle into dominance and fully embrace the role of the ultimate trickster!
What’s the environment like?
🐇 Theatreland is an infernal reflection of Victorian London buried in the depths of Hell, where you will explore realms erupting with the twisted powers of their Masters. Nothing in Theatreland is ever what it seems, and every scene tells a story shaped by performance and deception.
That’s it for now! We can’t wait to give you more info about Magicians.
