Nacon Connect 2026 has come and gone, and if you are a fan of tabletop-rooted gothic horror universes getting the video game treatment, consider your HP bar fully restored. The showcase packed in a solid roster of announcements and updates for upcoming Xbox titles, according to Pure Xbox.
The headliner that has people talking is Hunter: The Reckoning - Deathwish, which finally got a proper reveal. The game is being developed by the studio behind RoboCop: Rogue City - which, if you played that game, means this hunter is probably going to hit very, very hard.
But wait, there is more lore in the loading screen. Nacon also dropped the announcement of Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Rageborn, a brand new top-down metroidvania that is currently howling its way toward an Xbox release in 2027. A World of Darkness metroidvania is honestly the crossover nobody asked for but everyone secretly needed.
So what is the big picture here?
Nacon is clearly going all-in on the World of Darkness IP, and between a hunter-action game and a werewolf metroidvania, the tabletop RPG universe is getting more video game adaptations than it has seen in years. Whether these titles will stick the landing or end up in the bargain bin dungeon remains to be seen.
Xbox players have a lot to look forward to on the darker side of the release calendar. If 2027 is shaping up to be anything like this showcase suggests, it might just be a very good year to be a creature of the night - or someone who hunts them. Full roundup details are available over at Pure Xbox.
