Joe Richardson adventure games anthology The Immortal John Triptych announced for PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, Xbox One, Switch, and PC

by

Akupara Games and Joe Richardson Games have revealed The Immortal John Triptych, a collection bringing together the games Four Last Things, The Procession to Calvary, and Death of the Reprobate. This package will include extra content like deleted scenes and improvements to the gameplay experience. It’s scheduled to release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam) in 2026.

Developer Joe Richardson described playing a point-and-click adventure game on a console as a surprisingly enjoyable, yet unconventional, experience, comparing it to reading a classic, often outrageous, work like Rabelais on a modern e-reader. He playfully suggested players would find it delightfully offensive.

Here is an overview of the collection, via Akupara Games:

About

As a huge fan, I’m so excited about The Immortal John Triptych! It finally collects Four Last Things, The Procession to Calvary, and Death of the Reprobate all in one place. And it’s not just a re-release – it’s been totally upgraded with new bonus stuff, scenes that were cut, and just an overall polish to make it even better!

PC gamers can also join in the fun! A new downloadable content pack, called “The Immortal John Triptych: Weird Extra Content Art Gallery DLC Thing-y,” will be available on Steam. If you already own the games, you can start playing right away. Any locked games will unlock as you progress through the Triptych after you buy the DLC. Plus, to mark the occasion, a free update is coming to all three games, improving gameplay and ensuring everything runs smoothly!

Experience three quirky and clever Python-based games inspired by Renaissance art and grand schemes. You’ll steal from pirates, plot with church officials, and confront the weighty concept of mortality. Journey through beautiful scenery and bizarre paintings in this wonderfully funny and surprisingly thoughtful series. With consistently high scores on Metacritic (83, 78, and 81) and overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam, Joe Richardson has already won over players and critics – and now, expect even more people to discover these uniquely captivating adventures.

Key Features

  • 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 user interface 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.
