A magical underworld, supernatural crime, and high-stakes action—Nesting Games has officially announced The Directorate: Novitiate, a third-person action RPG that blends magic, gunplay, and deep storytelling. Set to launch in Early Access on PC via Steam in 2025, this game throws players into a gritty world of supernatural syndicates and moral dilemmas.
A world of magic, crime, and tough choices
You play as Mercury in The Directorate: Novitiate, also known as Kana Luna, a newly inducted magical gangster navigating the dangerous streets of Los Angeles in 2006. The supernatural underworld is on the verge of war, and a serial killer is on the loose. As a member of the Costa Muerta, a Dark Syndicate of the Directorate, you must decide whether to embrace the world’s darkest powers or fight to retain your humanity.
By day, you try to maintain a normal life. By night, you hunt supernatural threats, uncover horrifying secrets, and climb the ranks of the Directorate’s magical order. It’s a game of duality—your choices matter, and trust can be a deadly gamble.
Guns, spells, and acrobatic chaos
The combat in The Directorate: Novitiate is a thrilling mix of third-person shooting and magic-based abilities. Expect fast-paced battles where you’ll chain together spells, execute stylish Gun Katas (yes, full-on action-movie-style acrobatics), and level up with RPG-style progression. Whether you focus on brute force, clever spellwork, or a mix of both, the game lets you build Mercury in your own way.
