Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish
Following the announcement of Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish at the Xbox Partner Preview earlier this year, Game Director, Piotr Łatocha from Teyon sat down to talk about the team’s vision for what they’re building.
It starts with character creation, where you’ll define your look, backstory and skills, with attributes and skills drawn directly from the tabletop. From there, it’s a question of how you play. Which skills do you lean on? Do you go in guns blazing or smooth talk to get the information you need?
Fight back against the Darkness and reclaim the night in Summer 2027 – Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish launches for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and Xbox Cloud as an Xbox Play Anywhere title.
