Xbox Announces Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish, a First-Person World of Darkness RPG Coming Summer 2027

Teyon frames the game as a choice-driven adaptation of the tabletop’s 5th edition rules.

Overview

  • The game, revealed during Thursday's Xbox Partner Preview, is slated for Summer 2027 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud as an Xbox Play Anywhere release.
  • Polish studio Teyon leads development under director Piotr Łatocha, drawing on systems and pacing lessons from RoboCop: Rogue City.
  • Play unfolds in first person across a semi-open New York, mixing investigation, combat, stealth, social checks, romance options, and companion bonds that shape quests and endings.
  • Character creation lets players build a custom hunter by assigning attributes and 18 skills that feed a dice-check system, plus advantages and flaws borrowed from the tabletop.
  • Microsoft and Game Informer note the project stands apart from the early-2000s Hunter action games, and any link to Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 remains unconfirmed.
