Chronicles of the Wolf
Chronicles of the Wolf - A True Metroidvania Launches Today
The hunt for the infamous Beast of Gévaudan begins and you can now forge your legend in Chronicles of the Wolf today!
The legend that is the Beast of Gévaudan comes to life in Chronicles of the Wolf, a compelling new metroidvania action-platformer. Proudly published by PQube and PixelHeart, alongside iconic development studio Migami Games, the game is now available digitally for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox and PC (Steam), with physical editions available for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation consoles.
To celebrate, watch the Official Launch Trailer that will give players insight into the cursed lands of Gévaudan and the terrors that await.
Enter a world where myth bleeds into history. Players begin their journey on the blood-soaked forest floor of Gévaudan, following the brutal massacre of Mateo's comrades. To survive, Mateo must solve cryptic puzzles to unlock new paths. The game encourages exploration, backtracking, and gradual progression through the collection of various items, armour and weapons that unlock new abilities.
Mateo must battle his way through eerie townships, sprawling castles, and overgrown swamps, each filled with challenging enemies and intense boss fights. A dynamic day-night cycle adds further pressure, pushing players at every turn.
A Legendary Tale Resurfaces in Modern Times
Step into the role of Mateo Lombardo, the last apprentice of the ancient Rose Cross Order, as he hunts down the mythical Beast of Gévaudan – a monster drawn from real historical accounts that terrorised 18th century France. Chronicles of the Wolf is packed with everything fans love: tight combat, gothic storytelling and thrilling boss fights. A packed 10-12 hours of finely crafted metroidvania gameplay and over 150 enemy types to face off against will keep players anticipating what Migami has cooked up after every successful battle.
The Talent That Brings Darkness to Life
The narration is brought to life by Robert Belgrade, a legendary voice talent known for his work across the Tekken series, as well as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Alucard) memorable roles in Mega Man X7 (Signas) and Soul Blade (Rock).
Adding further depth, the stunning illustrated cutscenes and a haunting soundtrack composed by Jeffrey Montoya, Chronicles of the Wolf delivers a deeply immersive and cinematic experience. Enhancing the game's rich atmosphere is a breathtaking guest track by Óscar Araujo (Listen Here), acclaimed for his powerful compositions on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Lords of Shadow 2, and the cult film Neon Flesh.
The massive Chronicles of the Wolf: The Official Soundtrack is also available on Steam.
