Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish: Interview With Teyon Director Piotr Łatocha

Nacon Connect 2026 delivered a slate of ambitious new titles rooted in horror and supernatural themes, with a particular focus on the iconic World of Darkness universe. Among the biggest revelations was the announcement of Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish, a first-person action RPG from Teyon (the developers behind RoboCop: Rogue City) that will launch for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud as an Xbox Play Anywhere title. The game is set in a dark, monster-infested version of New York City, where players take on the role of a human hunter battling vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural threats. This announcement underscores Nacon’s commitment to expanding its catalog of horror-themed experiences, alongside other new entries in the World of Darkness franchise.

The event also showcased Dracula: The Disciple, a first-person puzzle game developed by Cyanide Studio, and Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Rageborn, a top-down metroidvania action-adventure from Crea-ture Studios. Both titles are set to release in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, further cementing Nacon’s push into the horror and supernatural genres. The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu was teased as part of the lineup, adding to the Lovecraftian themes that have become a hallmark of Nacon’s recent slate.

Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish: A New Era for Supernatural Action

Game Director Piotr Łatocha of Teyon emphasized the game’s blend of first-person action and deep role-playing mechanics, drawing inspiration from titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 and the TV series Supernatural. Players will create their own characters, customize their skills, and lead a team of allies to investigate and eradicate supernatural threats lurking in the shadows. The game’s setting—a twisted, monster-filled New York City—promises a rich, atmospheric experience, with a narrative that delves into the darker corners of the World of Darkness universe.

According to official announcements, Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish will launch in summer 2027, marking its debut on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. This cross-platform release strategy aligns with Nacon’s broader efforts to maximize accessibility and reach for its titles.

Expanding the World of Darkness Universe

Beyond Hunter, Nacon Connect 2026 highlighted several other projects that expand on the World of Darkness theme. Dracula: The Disciple, developed by Cyanide Studio, offers a fresh take on the classic vampire lore, blending puzzle-solving with narrative depth. Meanwhile, Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Rageborn promises a unique action-adventure experience, allowing players to explore a top-down world filled with werewolf lore and strategic gameplay.

These announcements reflect Nacon’s strategic focus on horror and supernatural narratives, tapping into a growing appetite for immersive, story-driven experiences. The inclusion of The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu further signals the publisher’s intent to explore Lovecraftian themes, a genre that has seen renewed interest among both developers and players.

What Comes Next for Nacon and Xbox Partners

With Nacon Connect 2026 now complete, the next major milestone for these titles is their official release in 2027. For Xbox players, Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish will be available as an Xbox Play Anywhere title, ensuring seamless play across consoles and PC. This approach not only broadens the game’s audience but also aligns with Microsoft’s push for cross-platform accessibility.

As Nacon continues to build its portfolio of horror and supernatural games, these announcements set the stage for a year of new experiences that promise to redefine the genre. For fans of dark fantasy and supernatural action, 2027 looks set to be a year of rich storytelling and immersive gameplay.
