Back in October of 2019, Nacon and Cyanide Studio had officially revealed their upcoming game, Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood. While the cinematics certainly were impressive, we had yet to see some gameplay—until now. Check out the official gameplay for Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood:
Embrace the power of the Werewolf in Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood. Learn more about the forms, abilities, and skills of Cahal, an exiled werewolf who has returned to take part in a bloody campaign against the evil oil and gas corporation Endron, as our developers walk you through the World of Darkness in this commented gameplay video.
While the game does look like your usual modern action-platformer, there is a very interesting mechanic when it comes to the main character of Cahal who is a werewolf. In the game, you can actually morph into three different beings, each with their own distinct function. The human Cahal can be good for socializing and interacting with the environment, the wolf can sneak around and move faster, and the final werewolf mode allows you to take down enemies in savage rage. There are also a lot of other Arkham-like elements where you can sense which characters are carrying silver bullets which are more harmful to Cahal. You also get to wield a crossbow that has special gadgets that can take out cameras and other tech. It’s also worth mentioning that the enemies themselves come with mutant powers—just to even the playing field a bit more. The game is actually based on a tabletop roleplaying title called Werewolf: Apocalypse, and it’s all part of a larger World of Darkness series. While the game is only one element to the franchise, there’s a lot of other material that can help you get engrossed with WoD. Like I said, the game feels very Arkham, but the ability to morph into different types of werewolf is pretty interesting. No doubt the devs probably want to do more with this franchise. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is set to come to the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on Feb. 4, 2021.
