Nacon and White Wolf have announced Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish during the ongoing Xbox Partner Preview. It will be available in summer 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish is based on White Wolf’s TTRPG, set in the World of Darkness setting. It’s heavily inspired by games such as Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines and Baldur’s Gate 3. An Xbox Wire interview with game director Piotr Łatocha further outlines the upcoming game:
“You are in the real world – New York, so real city – and the whole thing is that you’ve been living in a lie. As the player, you discover that there is a second world you never knew about, that has monsters lurking in the shadows. Some situations in the story lead you to a point of no return, where you need to pick up the fight and become the hunter or be prey.
It’s a first-person game. We expanded a bit on the RoboCop: Rogue City formula, but this is a slower game with some investigation, with some romance options, companion bonding, a branching story, very different side quests, and very different approaches to solving problems. I believe it’s the best way to approach a cool RPG game.
I would also say it’s a semi-open world game, where you have the main quest line, and then you have a lot of different side quests that you can take on. The main quest follows a rather linear path, but of course it has some branches. You can also build the bond with the companions you have, and you can influence their personal stories, so they can end up with totally different states by the end of the game.”
Lastly, more details about Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish will release at a later date.
