Here's a word from the creators:
We fell in love with World of Darkness back in the 90s. We grew up with these games and they have been with us ever since. They have had a profound impact on our professional lives as well.
What has always interested us in World of Darkness , is the modernization of myths. Classic horror stories are the epitome of the fears of their age. A pale count who lived in a huge castle and oppressed the people would become a vampire. Zombie legends reflect the endless plight of the Haitian slaves. There is also a man-beast who, in the interpretation World of Darkness became a conservationist.
Today humanity is fascinated by technology. The myths of the past have been replaced by fears of the digital age, hackers and operating system bugs. Meanwhile, in 2020, we received an awakening from nature itself. Huge bushfires in Australia, pollution of the oceans, climate change and a pandemic should give us pause.
The myth of the werewolf must return, now more than ever.
More details including story, gameplay, and target platforms will be released in July.
