Focus Entertainment Publishing and developer Uppercut Games are thrilled to announce Magicians: The Devil’s Deal, planned for release in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass. In this new narrative-driven FPS, you’ll step into the shoes of Jacob, a gifted stage magician drawn into a nightmarish descent through Theatreland, a distorted reflection of Victorian London ruled by the powerful Masters. Driven forward by rage and supernatural tricks, Jacob must confront these enigmatic figures and claim their power as he journeys deeper into a world shaped by ambition and deception. A dark tale of illusion and revenge awaits in Magicians: The Devil’s Deal!
Magic is more than spectacle. It’s power.
Magicians: The Devil’s Deal is a first-person action game built around a dark and gripping journey where illusions become deadly weapons and power always comes at a cost.
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.
In Magicians: The Devil’s Deal, players can combine skills, adapt their approach, and master increasingly dangerous encounters across the ever-shifting Realms of Theatreland. But in this underworld ruled by hubris and temptation, every step forward only leads deeper into darkness…
