The doors to Utopia don't open to the public until next month, but Iceberg Interactive offered a sneak peek inside today with the first trailer for Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok.

Baron Wittard sends players into the lonely, failed creation of the titular eccentric architect, a city inside a building intended to house thousands. Called 'The Utopia', the baron's dream design was scheduled to open two years earlier, but a series of unfortunate incidents plagued production until it was abandoned altogether. As a photographer, it's your job to enter the baron's gloomy, unfinished building just to take pictures for your magazine, but you'll soon find that you're not alone, as there's "something malevolent lurking at his city".

The trailer introduces a few locations from Wittard's Utopia, and includes a narration by the architect himself, warning us about the evil, electrical presence foretold by Viking prophesies that he himself unleashed.

Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok is currently scheduled for release in the UK on February 18th. In the meantime, don't miss out on our recent hands-on preview.
