From ‘Unavowed’ Creators Comes a Vampire RPG in ‘Nighthawks’

Published

Today Sunless Sea writer Richard Cobbett joined forces with developer Wadjet Eye (the same folks behind the recently-released adventure game Unavowed) to announce a brand-new “urban fantasy RPG” entitled Nighthawks. The kicker for this one is that like the underrated cult classic Vampire: The Masquerade series of games, you play as a vampire in a gothic setting.

Arriving on Kickstarter September 5th, details are slim pickings at the moment (apart from the official site), but from the first crop of screenshots, there appears to be an emphasis on branching dialogue options and resource management. And from the teaser below, the world’s recent revelation that vampires are real and exist amongst the human populace should serve for some interesting conflicts.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
