The Inquisitor is a grimdark fantasy game set in an alternate 1500 A.D. where Jesus escaped his crucifixion and rather than preach forgiveness, sought violent vengeance on the non-believers. It's been announced for PS5 and is targeting a Q4 2023 release window.
Century's later, the Inquisitor's continue to enforce this Holy Law. You play as one such blood-soaked agent of the church, named Mordimer Madderin, tasked with rooting out the sin and corruption that festers in the bowels of the city of Koenigstein. You will need to hunt down and interrogate heretics, using any method necessary in order to gain the information required.
This one looks interesting, and while the trailer was a little stiff, the setting and premise seem ripe for exploration. We will be keeping an eye on this one as often as we can spare it. What do you think of The Inquisitor? Confess your sins in the comments section below.

That voice over though ðĪĢ
@colonelkilgore yes that voice over reminds me of the old video nasty trailers such as driller killer et al..game looks a bit naff too to be honest..
Ah yes another thinly veiled attack on the only religion on earth that's it's considered acceptable to insult, Christianity. I wonder the reaction had this game been about the prophet Muhammad seeking bloody vengeance against non-believers of Islam? My guess it would've been shut down immediately, considered 'Islamophobic' and condemned in every corner of the world. I also suspect the game's developers would've been subjected to very real threats of death or violence too, but it's only Christianity so hey-ho and on we go....
@Sqush-Pare
I'm not sure this is the attack on Christianity that you think it is. This game is based on books by Jacek Piekara, a very conservative and religious author who glamourises the idea of an Angry God. His political tweets should give you enough of an idea where he stands.
@L_Bosch ok thank you. I'll take a look.
Eurojank at it's finest. Gonna feel awful to play, I can just tell.
"Century's"?
(may want to fix that)
I wouldn't have minded the story of jesus going mental with God powers and a holy fire sword , "forgive them lord for they know not what they do....nah" heavy metal kicks in.
Looks interesting.
Unworld lmao
Interesting premise. Trailer looks naff and awkward though. Speaking of which, any news on Showa American Story? ð
Why not just let us play as Jesus murdering everybody?
You probably believe in rock and roll, or that music could save your mortal soul. I suppose you could teach me to dance real slow too huh? I'll pray for you...
@L_Bosch
Any media that depicts religion as the fantasy stories that they are is fine by me
@SettleDownBeavis No Christians have engaged in something violent to protest criticism of Christianity.
Being told another point of view doesn't equal oppression.
I've never understood Western critics of religion. Your movements will say everything critical of religions and when people respond, you ask "why offended" probably for the same reason JK Rowling's tweets offend you. The difference is, Christians won't send death and rape threats over this game.
@RicebinBernacky If you want the ultimate fantasy, look no further than atheism and the decline of New Atheism when Richard Dawkins refused to debate William Lane Craig knowing WLC would make an embarrassment of all those atheist arguments you think are so amazing lol.
@L_Bosch So instead of an edgy anti Christian story, it's a edgy story written by a Westboro baptist member? That sounds just as bad.
Graphics, sword fight, and the voice over all suck! What a bad announcement
@IronTruth ever heard of the crusades?
@IronTruth also a quick search on the tinternet using "attrocities commited in the name of christianity" will bring up more factual cases throughout history than i have the time to go over..no doubt you will tell me and the tinternet how wrong we are..
You are really abusing the apostrophe key in this article. A journo should know when to use them and when not to.
Anyway this is a pretty cool take on Christian mythology. I hope it's good because it's definitely going to get review bombed by pearl clutching Bible thumpers.
Yeah khayl using the apostrophe 3 times in the article..jesus dude what were you thinking eh?
".. grimdark fantasy game set in an alternate 1500 A.D. where Jesus escaped his crucifixion and rather than preach forgiveness, sought violent vengeance on the non-believers."
This sounds absolutely amazing.
@Starkei @ILikeStake @colonelkilgore @kungfumongoose 100% agreed about the terrible voice acting, combat, and graphics. Hard pass for me.
Btw @2here2there, where did you find your picture? It's very cool
@KidBoruto thanks. Yours is cool as well. Just googled happy child cartoon or something like that ð
@KidBoruto I'm a 40+ year old guy, father of 2 kids, but I have the same feeling of that profile photo when free of daily stress and work pressure ðĪŠð
@2here2there Oh my haha! I'm 33 with no children, my inner child is enough for me.
I don't think a big child like me will ever be ready for parenthood.
@KidBoruto look at us, two 30+ year old men, but with profile photos of kids. Nice, isn't it? ðð
