Nacon during ChooseTV Connect 2026 showcased a substantial dose of new games set in the dark atmospheres of horror, fantasy, and monster worlds. This year's presentation was heavily focused on the World of Darkness universe, Lovecraftian nightmares, and psychological thrillers. Among the most interesting announcements were new games about monster hunters, werewolves, and Dracula himself.
World of Darkness returns with new games about hunters and werewolves
One of the biggest highlights of the showcase was Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish by Teyon studio. The game will allow players to take on the role of a hunter fighting against supernatural threats in the World of Darkness universe. The developers focus on an elaborate character creation system, a skills system inspired by tabletop RPGs, and a great deal of gameplay freedom. Players will be able to resolve situations through force or more diplomatically, with a release planned for summer 2027.
The second major announcement was Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Rageborn. This time, players will take on the role of a Garou, a werewolf capable of changing forms while exploring the world and battling enemies. The game is expected to have a metroidvania structure and will allow players to develop their own pack and operational base. Nacon is clearly showing that it wants to continue developing games set in the World of Darkness universe, which has been making a comeback in popularity in recent years.
Dracula, Lovecraft, and psychological horror also made an appearance at the presentation
The presentation also featured more classic horrors. Dracula: The Disciple from Cyanide Studio is set to be a first-person adventure game with puzzles and an occult atmosphere. Players will find themselves in Dracula's castle searching for the elixir of immortality, with a strong emphasis on dark ambiance, rituals, and psychological unease. The game's release is planned for 2027.
Another interesting title is The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, a cooperative horror inspired by Lovecraft's work. The production will take players into a dangerous jungle full of hallucinations, strange phenomena, and cosmic monsters. The game aims to focus heavily on teamwork and an atmosphere of paranoia, where players will never be sure if what they see is real. The release is scheduled for July 15.
Nacon Connect 2026 strongly focused on horror, darkness, and supernatural themes. New games about werewolves, monster hunters, and Dracula show that the publisher is increasingly daring to invest in more mature and atmospheric productions for fans of horror and RPGs.
