Vamp’ing in Boston
Bloody hell, I’m starting to lose track of all these World Of Darkness gigs. Taking the spotlight with a new trailer during tonight’s Nacon Connect showcase,Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansongis a blood-sucking RPG from Big Bad Wolf that follows three unlikely (and undead) friends teaming up to investigate blood-curdling conspiracies in the heart of Boston. While it’s still early days, Swansong will arrive on the Epic Games Store sometime next year.

Those three characters come from three of the setting’s various vampire clans, with their own perspectives on the world and on the ruling Camarilla. From the way Hipeau talks about character sheets, stats and checks, it sounds like we’re getting a more traditional RPG this time ‘round - one that veers closer to V:TM’s roots in pen and paper.
Swansong is, of course, yet another dark fantasy offering on what’s turning out to be a proper buffet of World Of Darkness adaptations. Tonight’s stream also showed offa new trailer for Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood, a third-person RPG wherein you absolutely beast folk as a massive dogman. Both are due out on the Epic Games Store sometime next year, though Swansong has yet to pin down a release date.
