Con Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood, that to be released on February 4, 2021. NACON and Cyanide are pleased to present a 6 minute gameplay video that showcases the exploration, stealth and brutal action of the game. For the launch of this video, Julien “Patch” Desourteaux, Game Director at Cyanide, provides an overview of the game’s development and its roots in World of Darkness. A universe of shared stories where supernatural beings wander away from human gaze.
The biggest challenge for Cyanide was to implement all of the mechanics of an action RPG: designing the combat systems, balancing effects, working on different types of animations, and more. When the main character, Cahal, takes on his Crinos form, players must feel like a bestial predator.
So, a system of “ posture ” has been put in place so players can switch between agility and ferocity depending on the situation. The team went to great lengths to create a visceral beat’em up game while staying true to the original tabletop RPG.
Fr Werewolf: The Apocalypse, The Garou are warriors of Gaia, Mother Earth, and they fight to save the planet from the corruption of the Wyrm. This aspect of the game is visible when players explore environments such as an overexploited forest, arid desert, or offshore oil rig.
