A werewolf RPG is finally being made. It’s called Werewolf: The Apocalypse and is set in a world where evil corporations are destroying humanity.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse RPG, by White Wolf
Werewolf: The Apocalypse is a White Wolf game, set in the same universe as Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. It is being developed by Cyanide Studios. In this action RPG, you’ll be a former member of the Fianna tribe. As an outcast of the tribe, you’re called back due to something bad which has befallen your son.
The game is centred around managing your rage meter. As an agent of Gaia, you have a special affinity to the natural world. You know that humans have been ruining it. The more you find out about what humans have been doing, the more your rage meter will increase. Can you retain control or will you end up turning feral? If you’ve been following the Vampyr game’s development then you should also consider adding Werewolf: The Apocalypse to your wishlist.

Sweeeeet. I’ve been wanting an ARPG centered on Lycanthropy since Skyrim’s werewolf form. Kind of wish it was set in it’s own universe though. Don’t care too much for Vampire the Masqurade.
I advise you to still give it a go, EldritchImagination. Although both Vampire and Werewolf are a part of the White Wolf universe, the tabletop RPGs are nothing like each other and I suspect that the Werewolf game too won’t be much like Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines.
Similarly, Promethean is another White Wolf game with the same world setting but one where you’re being far more powerful than either vampires or werewolves – closer to immortals. I didn’t get on with Promethean personally but I enjoyed both Vampire and Werewolf for very different reasons.
