White Wolf's World of Darkness is the setting for several tabletop role-playing games and allows players to delve in an experience where the world as we know it and the supernatural world are combined to give birth to a fantasy universe like no other. Each of the universes of the games in the World of Darkness series can be considered independent but they share common elements that make them related to each other. Of course, this kind of setting is perfect for video games, and we are about to have a couple of them that will undoubtedly gather the attention of the fans of the series. On one hand, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will reveal us more about the world of the Vampires. There have been other games based on Vampire: The Masquerade before and, although Bloodlines 2 promises to bring quite a lot of new features, there are quite a lot of players that already have experience with the setting. On the other hand, Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood is going to be the first video game that will let us take a peek at the world of the Garou, the defenders of Gaia, Mother Earth. You can watch its first cinematic trailer below. It was revealed yesterday during IGN's Summer of Gaming event.
Although there is a connection between the werewolves and the vampires in the world of darkness (they are sworn enemies), Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood focuses on a different aspect of the war in which the different werewolf tribes are involved to defend nature. The game specifically focuses on Cahal, an Ahroun werewolf of the Fianna tribe who has been exiled due to losing control of his rage. When he discovers that his old tribe is in danger he decides to abandon his exile in order to help his old pack to fight against Endron, one of the subsidiary companies that is working to corrupt and destroy Gaia. Of course, Endron is just one of the countless tentacles of the force known as the Wyrm, a corrupting entity that seeks to destroy our world.
As you can see, this is the perfect scenario for a thrilling story, and Cahal will be at the center of it. As a werewolf, he will be able to switch between three forms that will allow him to interact with the world on several ways and fuel his rage into a destructive force that will help him thwart Endron's plans.
We hope that you are as eager as us to know more about the features of Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood and we will maintain you informed about any novelties regarding that matter, especially if a gameplay video is published.
