The narrative that plays out across Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is twofold. All of this is explained in an opening cut scene that provides a little context to the rest of the game. The Garou and their allies secretly fight from the shadows to protect Gaia and prevent the Wyrm for bringing about an apocalypse on Earth. Over time, the Wyrm became corrupted by the Wyld and in the game, it exerts its influence over the behaviour of man to combat he forces of Gaia, the force of nature. The Garou believe in a trio of god’s that define how the world works The Weaver is a god of science and order, the Wyld is a god of creation and chaos, and the Wyrm is a god that was meant to keep the balance between the others. In Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood, the player takes the roll of Cahal, a Garou (fancy word for Werewolf). In this instance, Werewolf: The Apocalypse is the role playing game it’s based on and Earthblood is name of the game. This series included Vampire: The Masquerade (the most famous of the bunch), Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Mage: The Ascension, Wraith: The Oblivion ( which also has a game in development), and Changeling: The Dreaming. It’s part of a series of releases which are all interconnected, forming the ‘World of Darkness’ universe. For those who don’t know, Werewolf: The Apocalypse is an award winning table top role playing game that was originally released in the early 90’s.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is one hell of a mouth full and on paper looks utterly daft – but with some context, it starts to make sense. Let’s address the Were-Elephant in the room before we continue. Steeped in existing lore and utilising a few core mechanics (maybe a little too often), Cyanide have managed to make a chonking big and enjoyable game out it.
Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is a perfect example of that type of development. These projects took a few solid mechanics, more often than not a licenced IP, a talented studio and stretched them as far as the budget or development time would allow.

Personally, I’ve sorely missed the slew of AA games that existed in the Xbox 360 and PS3 days. Sure, there are a few AA standouts from the past few years – Vampyr, GreedFall and of course A Plague Tale: Innocence – but they’re few and far between. AA games, the term for those games that exist in the space betwixt the 2 polar extremes, seemed to release less and less. Over the past generation, the gulf between the behemoth open world AAA masterworks and small scale, artistic indie games seems to have grown ever wider. Games like Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood are a rarity nowadays. It might get a bit repetitive but Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is a whole lot of blood soaked fun on PS5.
