Ubisoft has announced a new VR title, ‘Werewolves Within,’ due to release in Autumn, 2016. Developed by Tom Clancy studio Red Storm Entertainment and Ubisoft Barcelona, it is described as an online VR multiplayer for five to eight players. It is among the first multiplayer titles that has been announced so far for VR platforms.
Set in the medieval town of Gallowston, Werewolves Within sees players cooperatively working to eliminate the werewolves terrorizing the village. Since the werewolves will often be disguised and hiding within the town itself, players will have to “utilize specific roles and abilities, and the power of persuasion to assess, deduce and win the round.”
An interesting twist on gameplay is the fact that players will sometimes play werewolf hunters, and other times they will play the werewolves themselves, hiding in the village. There will apparently be an emphasis on strategy, role playing, and deception as well as the usual action and fast-paced skill.
Werewolves Within comes out in Autumn of 2016 on VR platforms.
