The wait was worth it. Chronicles of the Wolf invites players into a world where history blends with the supernatural, and every corner hides an ancient secret or deadly threat.
A Dive into French Legends
The game’s universe draws upon two terrifying real-world myths: the Beast of Gévaudan and the Rosicrucian Order. These historical references lend a unique depth to the adventure.

This creature, which reportedly terrorized southern France between 1764 and 1767, returns in the game in an even more menacing form. It is not merely a boss or backdrop: it is ever-present, symbolic, and central to the narrative. As a player, you must constantly ask yourself: are you the hunter… or the hunted?

This very real esoteric society profoundly influences the hero’s progression. Through its teachings and artifacts, you can unlock special powers, access secret zones, and uncover the hidden layers of a complex narrative.
Metroidvania Legends Behind the Scenes
Chronicles of the Wolf brings together legendary figures from the genre. The storytelling is powered by the unforgettable voice of Robert Belgrade, the iconic actor behind Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Meanwhile, the atmospheric soundtrack is composed by Jeffrey Montoya, known for his work on titles like Wallachia: Reign of Dracula, The Cursed Knight, and Odallus: The Dark Call.

The world of Chronicles of the Wolf is carefully designed to immerse players in a gothic and tormented vision of France:
Misty villages consumed by doubt
Ruined cathedrals marked by curses
Forests where the wind itself seems to whisper warnings
The pixel art direction pays exceptional attention to detail: every stone, shadowy figure, and glint of light builds an atmosphere that is both oppressive and hypnotic.
Demanding and Rewarding Gameplay

Chronicles of the Wolf offers more than just a compelling story. It challenges players’ reflexes and minds. The gameplay is built around three core pillars:
Boss fights inspired by folklore and history, where each encounter is a technical and symbolic trial
Puzzles that require observation, logic, and experimentation
Non-linear progression, like the best metroidvanias, with new zones unlocked by acquiring new skills
Players are rewarded for curiosity and punished for rushing. Every gameplay element is crafted to deepen immersion in the narrative.
A Limited Physical Edition on the Way
For collectors and fans of tangible media, a limited physical edition is currently in the works. It will include exclusive goodies carefully chosen for lovers of gothic worlds. More details will be revealed soon, but one thing is certain: this edition is sure to delight even the most demanding fans.
The Hunt Begins
With its striking art direction, rich gameplay, and powerful historical inspirations, Chronicles of the Wolf emerges as a new genre benchmark. It is not just a game, but a descent into the darkness of forgotten legends and hidden secrets.
