After accidentally letting the cat out of the bag a few weeks back, NACON and developer Teyon have made it official. The teams have announced a new Hunter: The Reckoning title in the first-person single-player action RPG Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish. The game is currently in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, with a summer 2027 release window.
Revealed during the Xbox Partner Showcase, Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish immerses players in a dark vision of New York, where vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural horrors lurk and scheme in the shadows. Players assume the role of a Hunter, or humans who have discovered the horrifying truth that monsters secretly rule our world, and have decided to track them down. Players customize their Hunter just like the World of Darkness tabletop RPG game, and explore the city at their own pace, searching for clues and side quests that may give them an edge against enemies as powerful as they are dangerous.
Hunters must prepare and adapt their approach to each creature’s lair, whether through brute force, stealth, or cunning. With a wide range of ranged and melee weapons at their disposal, players can engage monsters in intense combat. Throughout the adventure, they join a cell of hunters and team up with five companions, each with their own story and unique personality, providing valuable support during hunts.
“We knew NACON and Teyon had something special the moment we saw Deathwish,” says Jess Lanzillo, Creative Director at White Wolf. “Teyon has a deep understanding of what makes Hunter: The Reckoning a compelling setting, and Deathwish embodies our vision of bringing it to life. NACON has helped bring several World of Darkness games to our fans, and the team at Teyon is in good hands.”
