Let’s face it: There aren’t enough video games where you can play as a werewolf. Luckily for us, Cyanide Studios (the same folks behind the recently-released Call of Cthulhu: The Official Video Game) has been working on an adaptation of White Wolf Publishing’s Werewolf: The Apocalypse entitled Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood.
And now, Focus Home Interactive has announced that Bigben Interactive has acquired the publishing and distribution rights for the game, which has been in development since January of last year. Cyanide will still remain in charge of the the game’s development, which is expected to hit consoles and PC in 2020.
Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is an action-RPG adaption of White Wolf’s role-playing game. In it, players take on the role of Cahal, a banished werewolf forced to return to the aid of his endangered clan and master the devastating Rage within him to punish all those that would pollute, destroy, and corrupt Gaia, or Mother Earth. On his quest for redemption, Cahal will play a “pivotal role” in the Great War of the Garou against Pentex, a powerful corporation whose activities are upsetting the balance of nature.
Yeah, it’s a long ways off, but if you’re hankering for other White Wolf Publishing properties, you can always grab one of the Vampire: The Masquerade games on Steam or GOG.com.
Or, if you’re an old-school gamer, you can always check out the ridiculously awesome Werewolf: The Last Warrior on the NES.
