Panache Digital Games has dropped a 30‑minute documentary titled "The Road to Early Access", filmed in French with English subtitles. The video tracks the full development arc of the supernatural action title 1666: Amsterdam, from its earliest spark to the early‑access release on August 25, 2026.

At the heart of the story is creative director Patrice Desile, whose résumé includes a stint at Ubisoft and work on Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey before founding Panache Digital. The film pulls back the curtain on behind‑the‑scenes challenges: lockdown constraints, intense sprint cycles, the buildup to the public announcement, a team trip to Amsterdam, and showcases at Summer Game Fest and Gamescom. Interviews with the crew reveal pivotal decisions, hurdles faced, and the anxieties that hovered before launch.

1666: Amsterdam is now available in early access on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Players step into the shoes of witch Noa and her cat Aaron, hunting powerful Primordials hidden among the city's citizens in a haunted version of Amsterdam. The studio promises regular updates, fresh content, and a tight feedback loop, while cranking up the polish rate to 15‑20 builds per day.
