World of Darkness Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood - action-RPG adaptation from Cyanide

[Chippy]

For the moment lets assume that clan Brujah represents the overall political thinking of White Wolf publishing or Cyanide - the best thing they can do is either split the "clan" (as America and the UK are split) or create a hippie, tree-hugging, independent, rebellious type of thinking. Where the werewolves are just protecting their territory and way of life. I would have thought that most companies have witnessed that lefty crap doesn't really sell. The latest shift in Marvel comics comes to mind. Otherwise I'm looking forward to the game.

The first instinct of a Leftist is to double down if they encounter resistance.

BIGBEN acquires the editing and distribution rights to WEREWOLF: THE APOCALYPSE – EARTHBLOOD

22 November 2018
Lesquin, November 22, 2018. BIGBEN is happy to announce that they have reached an agreement with Focus Home Interactive to publish and distribute Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood. Cyanide Studio, who joined the Bigben group in 2018 and who has been working on developing the game for nearly two years, remains in charge of adapting the title which comes from the World of Darkness universe.
Since the game was announced by Paradox Interactive and Focus Home Interactive in January 2017, the player community and the specialised press have shown growing interest in the adaptation of the famous role-playing game.

“We are thrilled to have reached this agreement which considers, in an equitable way, the different parties’ investments. This will allow Cyanide to keep the ball rolling on the game’s development and to give its numerous fans a really unique experience, in a universe that gamers are very fond of,” declared Alain Falc, Bigben’s CEO.

“The intense action and desperate supernatural danger of Werewolf is a perfect fit for BigBen,” said Shams Jorjani, VP Business Development at Paradox Interactive, and interim manager at White Wolf. “And this is happening at the best time, because of our renewed focus on brand management and licensing. This allows us to give our partners exactly what they need to develop amazing customer experiences in their licensed products. Video games always have been a key pillar to White Wolf’s brand strategy: they’re an incredibly powerful medium for great World of Darkness stories! So, we are looking forward very much to this partnership, and to many others, in the months and years ahead.”

Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is the first action-RPG game adaptation of the iconic role-playing game. Become 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 our Mother Earth, Gaïa. On his bloody 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.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood will be available on both PC and consoles in 2020.

Glad they got a delay (and a better title), they certainly need it.

 

[Werdna's Revenge]

Yeah the title is way better now. I still don't really trust Cyanide to not fuck up the potential that comes with Werewolf, but a delay could help iron the game out at least.

 

[Zombra]

Although I have no particular feelings about Cyanide, Bigben bankrolled Sherlock: Devil's Daughter and has a long resume of mobile games and shovelware, so I am not optimistic.

[Delterius]

I hope there is compatibility between A farmers dynasty and bee simulator.

 

[Yosharian]

What the actual fuck

Bee Simulator

Humanity was a mistake

 

[deuxhero]

Glad they got a delay (and a better title), they certainly need it.

Wait, the game had a full title before this announcement it was called "Earthblood"?

 

[Roguey]

Wait, the game had a full title before this announcement it was called "Earthblood"?

Yeah, Werewolf: The Apocalypse: The Official Video Game.

 

[Werdna's Revenge]

What the actual fuck

Bee Simulator

Humanity was a mistake

Shut up pleb! Invertebrate simulators have history.

 

[Ismaul]

plus i bet you can taste the queen's honey

 

[Chippy]

So it's not gonna be lefty "Save muh planet" shit now?.

 

[vota DC]

They could do the DEFINITIVE rpg if they don't do another walking sim!
Earthblood instead of Earthbound!
You play as a doggie (sadly in Earthbound doggie left the party very early in game because it was a coward) and you fight Gygax instead of Giygas. I mean, fighting the creator of D&D would be epic.

 

[glass blackbird]

So it's not gonna be lefty "Save muh planet" shit now?.

that's literally the premise of the tabletop, i don't think they're gonna throw it out

[glass blackbird]

Cyanide's yet to make a good RPG so the chances of it happening now are nil, just letting you guys know that

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Well let's just see if they too will go with the last of the White Howlers just to fuck with people.

Bigben Interactive Teases More From Action RPG ‘Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Earthblood’

French developer Cyanide Studio is teasing more of “Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Earthblood,” an upcoming action RPG set in White Wolf’s World of Darkness tabletop-game universe. It’s slated for release on PC and consoles in 2020.

According to a press release from November, Cyanide has been working on the project for roughly two and a half years. While the game’s Twitter account’s been dormant since February 2018, a new website (and accompanying artwork) suggests “Earthblood” will be a significant part of Bigben Interactive’s E3 lineup. It seems likely that a trailer will be unveiled during a larger livestream or press conference.

A video-game adaptation of “Werewolf: The Apocalypse” was first announced in January 2017 by Paradox Interactive and Focus Home Interactive; Bigben made an agreement to publish the project in 2018.

“The intense action and desperate supernatural danger of ‘Werewolf’ is a perfect fit for Bigben,” White Wolf VP Shams Jorjani said in November. “Video games always have been a key pillar to White Wolf’s brand strategy: they’re an incredibly powerful medium for great World of Darkness stories! So, we are looking forward very much to this partnership, and to many others, in the months and years ahead.”

The annual Electronic Entertainment Expo, better known as E3, takes place at the Los Angeles Convention Center from June 11 to 13. As is tradition, however, things will kick off early on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET with Electronic Arts’ EA Play event, which is being held at the Hollywood Palladium on June 8 and 9. Nintendo’s also hosting a number of esports tournaments throughout Saturday afternoon.

Microsoft will hold its big Xbox E3 2019 Briefing on Sunday, June 9, at 4 p.m. ET. Publishers Bethesda and Devolver Digital also have press conferences scheduled that same evening at 8:30 and 10 p.m. ET, respectively.

E3 2019 is coming to Los Angeles on June 11 through 13, and we’ll cover all the highlights of the event here at Variety as well.

Video games always have been a key pillar to White Wolf’s brand strategy: they’re an incredibly powerful medium for great World of Darkness stories!

What universe is he from where this is true? Very little has been done with WoD when it comes to video games. No, I don't exactly consider those Hunter games splattering across multiple consoles as notable examples. In fact, it would be safe to say White Wolf has done jack shit with the property beyond literary domain, roleplaying or not. I can only assume this is Paradox tightening the reins considering White Wolf had their leash tightened.

 

[Infinitron]

"Always" since 2.5 years ago.

 

[LESS T_T]

Yeah, Shams Jorjani is the Paradox guy.
