Microsoft used the Xbox Partner Preview to reveal Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish, a first-person action entry in the World of Darkness franchise slated for Summer 2027. The title is headed to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and Xbox Cloud.

The debut trailer follows a team of hunters pursuing a dangerous vampire who has infiltrated the police, while teasing a variety of other locations within the game. Deathwish marks a tonal shift from the original Hunter: The Reckoning, which launched as a hack-and-slash/third-person shooter on the original Xbox in 2002 and on Nintendo GameCube in 2003.

Deathwish joins last year’s Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 as the most recent World of Darkness releases. Both titles occupy the same shared setting, though a direct narrative connection between Deathwish and Bloodlines 2 has not been specified by the developers.

Further details and the reveal trailer are available via the Xbox Wire blog and the original Game Informer announcement.
