If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like if Renaissance-era paintings were crammed into a point-and-click adventure game filled with flatulence, sacrilege, and the occasional dancing baby, then The Immortal John Triptych might be the most unexpected release on your radar this summer. Developed by Joe Richardson and launching on August 27, 2026, this collection brings together three critically acclaimed titles, Four Last Things, The Procession to Calvary and Death of the Reprobate, in one gloriously disjointed package for Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Each of the three games carries its own story, although recurring characters and common themes tie them into one wonderfully distinctive world. Described by the developer as “Pythonesque adventures of Renaissance paintings and reckless ambition,” the Triptych invites players to pilfer from pirates, conspire with cardinals, and reckon with the Last Four Things, all while navigating puzzles that the developers say at least follow a coherent internal logic. The collection has already made a strong impression on PC, where all three titles hold overwhelmingly positive Steam and Metacritic ratings of 83, 78, and 81 respectively.
The console and PC version is not just a simple port. The Immortal John Triptych arrives with a completely unified UI overhaul, never-before-seen deleted scenes and bonus content, full controller support, and quality of life improvements across all three titles. The work draws on the painting traditions of the Renaissance, Rococo and Romanticism, bringing together hundreds of works spanning centuries into a cohesive visual world. The soundtrack is also studied, mixing classical pieces available to the public with original compositions by musician Eduardo Antonello, all recorded using period-appropriate medieval and Renaissance instruments.
PC gamers also have something extra to look forward to. A DLC titled The Immortal John Triptych: Weird Extra Content Art Gallery DLC Thing-y will be available on Steam, offering additional bonus material for those who want to delve even further into Richardson’s strange and singular creative vision. Titles already owned on Steam will be ready to play immediately, with locked titles unlocked in the Triptych upon purchase. A free quality of life update is also rolling out to the three existing Steam titles to bring them on par with the new version.
With a release date set for August 27, 2026, it won’t be long before the benches fill up considerably. Players can now add The Immortal John Triptych on all platforms via the official link at linktr.ee/ImmortalJohnTriptych.
