The moon is rising, the blood is flowing, and the hunt begins - are you ready to answer its call?

What's back and better than ever!

Ferocious Hack-and-Slash Combat
The signature, fast, satisfying melee combat returns, with even more brutal ways to cleave through enemies.

What new can you expect?



Prince Akran, the last of the cursed Wolf Knights is on a quest to save the world as he knows it. Transform into a savage werewolf under the full moon, and unleash unimaginable speed and power on your enemies.



Embark on three unique, perilous quests - each filled with challenging enemies, deep lore, and epic battles against impossible odds. Sacrifices must be made, and your strength will be tested like never before.



From the very first moments of the game, you’ll feel the grim weight of the world around you. Your path will be treacherous, but the thrill of combat and the lure of Bathoryn’s power will keep you pushing forward.
