The World of Darkness grows bigger with a first look at Hunter: The Reckoning - Deathwish and a Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Rageborn reveal
Two World of Darkness video games have been featured in a recent reveal. Hunter: The Reckoning - Deathwish, a previously announced title, received its first gameplay showcase, though the presentation offered only limited glimpses at mechanics rather than a comprehensive look. The second game announced is Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Rageborn, a new entry in the franchise being developed as a metroidvania game where players assume the role of a werewolf.
Both titles operate within the World of Darkness universe, the fictional setting shared with the Vampire: The Masquerade franchise. This dual reveal demonstrates the expanding nature of World of Darkness’ video game adaptations, moving beyond vampire-focused narratives to explore other creature types and perspectives within the universe.
The metroidvania classification for Rageborn indicates a gameplay focus on exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat encounters, with werewolf transformation and abilities likely serving as core mechanical elements. The decision to pursue this genre may allow for complex level design that showcases werewolf power progression.
The initial reveal provided limited gameplay details, with more substantial information expected as development progresses on both titles.
