Fans of Metroidvania games and dark, atmospheric adventures have something to look forward to. Chronicles of the Wolf, a new game from Migami Games (creators of Castlevania: The Lecarde Chronicles and Wallachia: Reign of Dracula), is set to launch this summer for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Physical editions will also be available for PlayStation 5 and Switch.
In Chronicles of the Wolf, you step into the boots of Mateo Lombardo, an apprentice of the Rose Cross Order who becomes the sole survivor of a vicious attack. As Mateo, you’ll explore a dark and dangerous world, talk to locals, collect items and weapons, solve puzzles, and face challenging obstacles. Along the way, you’ll level up your abilities and take on a massive roster of bosses.
Your mission is to hunt down the infamous Beast of Gevaudan, a mysterious creature inspired by real historical events. Between 1764 and 1767, a beast terrorized Southern France, killing over 100 people. In Chronicles of the Wolf, you’ll unravel the mystery of its origins while battling enemies and uncovering secrets in an open-world setting.
The game features a haunting soundtrack by Jeffrey Montoya, with guest music from Oscar Araujo, the composer behind the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow series. Adding to the atmosphere is Robert Belgrade, the voice of Alucard from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, who provides narration for the game.
