AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Teyon and Nacon have announced Hunter: The Reckoning Deathwish, a semi open world first-person RPG set in the World of Darkness universe, scheduled for a summer 2027 release on PC and current-gen consoles.
The World of Darkness universe is expanding once again, moving away from nocturnal bloodsuckers and into the hands of humanity's most dedicated monster stalkers. Developer Teyon and publisher Nacon recently revealed Hunter: The Reckoning Deathwish, a semi open world first-person single-player RPG slated for a summer 2027 release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Originally teased by a mysterious and accidental file upload tucked inside an update for RoboCop: Rogue City, this new project adapts the classic tabletop ruleset into a digital experience where players create custom hunters to tackle werewolves, ghouls, and other supernatural threats across New York City.
Built with deep role-playing mechanics, the game features a branching narrative with multiple endings, complete with a player cell and five romanceable companions. Teyon is leaning heavily into immersive sim design philosophies, drawing inspiration from titles like Deus Ex and Baldur's Gate 3. Missions will require players to infiltrate enemy lairs using stealth, brute force, acrobatics, or dialogue choices backed by skill checks and dice rolls. As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, this ambitious mechanical scope marks a significant evolution for the studio following their work on RoboCop: Rogue City.
Questions regarding the game's publishing future have surfaced following Nacon's recent filing for insolvency. Fortunately, Teyon remains an independent developer, meaning the team has the flexibility to secure a new publishing partner if necessary. For fans of deep urban fantasy RPGs who have been waiting for a fresh take on tabletop adaptations, Deathwish offers a compelling reason to keep an eye on development over the next year.
