The next new version of Werewolf: Apocalypse It will be a “reimagining” of the game and not a continuation of previous versions. Last month, White Wolf introduced players Taking a first look at the upcoming 5th edition of Werewolf: The ApocalypseAnd the which is set within the famous World of Darkness world for which it is famous Vampire: the farce. in werewolf: apocalypse, Players are werewolves (or Jarrow, as they call themselves) who are trying to stave off the ecological collapse of the world, the “apocalypse” referred to in the game’s title. White Wolf pointed out that the new version of Werewolf: Apocalypse It is a “reimagining” of the game rather than a continuation of the game’s lore, and players should expect some big changes as a result.
At first glance offered to players, Werewolf: Apocalypse Showcasing different Garo tribes, each coming with different abilities and a different attitude on how to fight the apocalypse. The list of tribes included two notable exceptions – both Get of Fenris and Stargazers from previous versions have been removed from the list of playable options. In addition, the Wendigo and Uktena tribes were renamed Galestalkers and Ghost Council, likely with the intention of respecting the indigenous cultures from which those tribes were inspired.
Get of Fenris has always been a problematic faction within werewolf: apocalypse, Largely because of that tribe’s association with Nazism and fascism. Within the game’s lore, some members of Get of Fenris joined the Nazi Party during World War II, leading to a fierce civil war within that faction. Although the game’s lore indicated that the anti-Nazi faction emerged victorious in the conflict and actually became Nazi hunters after the war, the cult was often used inappropriately by some players, with the group’s symbol being a swastika that didn’t aid in projections.
Interestingly, some of these traditions were already hinted at in 2021 Vampire: the farce Comedian, who noted that “One tribe has completely abandoned the others, so it is convinced of the truth of its cause and the inaction of the other werewolves. Another tribe lost confidence in the Garou and withdrew to look for other allies in fighting the enemies of Gaya. Now, the only fist a werewolf can trust It’s his private group.” The Get of Fenris was likely the one that abandoned the other tribes, as Stargazers withdrew from the Garou Nation in previous editions to join the monster courts.
