A new edition of Werewolf the Apocalypse is on the way at last. You can pre-order it today for when the world ends.

It’s here. Finally. The RPG for furries, folks who want to be faeries but who also think that faeries aren’t “masculine” enough to dress up as at ye olde renaissance faire, and BDSMers too not-pale to be into Vampire. That’s right we’re talking Werewolf the Apocalypse, one of the only RPGs whose seemingly disparate audience is actually almost just a single circle if you made it into a Venn diagram.

Announced back in 2019 for a potential 2021 release, back when we all had hope, the 5th Edition of Werewolf the Apocalypse is at hand. And sure, it’s a long delay. But it’s an understandable one, given all that the World of Darkness has been through up to and during the pandemic. And hey, it’s 2023, the year everyone is kind of relieved when any sort of apocalypse rears its head.

At least this one lets you roll dice and become one of the two wolves inside you.

Werewolf the Apocalypse – Pre-Order Now for August 31st


Gaia is dying.

The ices melt, while the seas swell.

The heat rises, while the forests wither.

Extinction threatens millions, in favor of the few.

The Garou — warlike shapeshifters torn be­tween Rage and spirit, between Wolf and Man, and champions of the earth-mother — have failed.

The Apocalypse is here.

Yet, a new generation of Garou now call upon their Rage to confront the forces of destruction, avarice, and greed ravaging the earth-mother. With tooth and claw the Garou will wrest her from the brink of death — or follow her enemies to the grave.

Will you answer their howl?

What legends will the Garou sing of you?

When will you Rage?

Werewolf: the Apocalypse, if you’re unfamiliar is a game of werewolves. You play as a new generation Garou, tasked with protecting, or at least avenging, Gaia, the spirit of the Earth. Kind of like Captain Planet filtered through the lens of Underworld.

The new book will use the 5th Edition World of Darkness rules and includes everything you need to know to play and run the game. Whether that’s how to build a legend and renown as a werewolf or delving deep into the world’s lore. In the 300-page book, you’ll find an intro adventure, some sample characters, and basically everything you need to plunge headfirst into the world of Werewolf.


If you started looking now, you could have a three wolf moon shirt delivered to you by the time the PDF came out.
