Vampire
A new Vampire: The Masquerade title is on the way to us, with the announcement for the upcoming Vampire: The Masquerade - Eternal Whispers
Things keep on growing for the main IP out there, with the announcement for Vampire: The Masquerade - Eternal Whispers. A new CRPG coming to the PC from Flyos and Kwalee that aims to give us more of a traditional style to the game, along with some fun top-down visuals to go along with it. Not to mention offering up a new narrative in the Vampire: The Masquerade setting. One that's usually filled with all manner of great and dark stories to tell. This is the World Of Darkness after all, and the undead do like to rule the shadows. Even if that might not be the main goal that we have when we set off into the darkness of Montreal. Only made even darker when we find out the origins of our protagonist in this story, and what that could mean for the world, depending on how we all want to play it. This is an RPG, so expect there to be some weird twists and turns for us to grow from.
Yes, you read that correctly. Vampire: The Masquerade - Eternal Whispers will have us playing as Gabe, a kindred who was staked and left buried for a long time. A kindred who also happened to be embraced into the Sabbat before all of that. Lucky for Gabe, a Thin-Blood named Sam is out there guiding Gabe's path back into Montreal. As they always seem to do in games of Vampire: The Masquerade, this path leads the pair into an undead society and the Temple of Eternal Whispers. From there, all of the usual combat, social actions, and other things vampires need to do to stay unalive need to take place. All as a branching narrative and other tabletop gameplay mechanics play out. That does mean rolling dice, which is always a fun thing to see in games like this. Along with the fact that we are going to get to build Gabe as we want to from the start. Although there isn't much in the way of clan or powers Gabe will have access to, I'm sure that will all be coming in the future as we get closer to when this title will be hitting the PC. Have a look at all of the sizzle for the game that sun can offer to vampiric flesh, just a bit lower down the page.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Eternal Whispers — Announcement
Montreal has changed.
The Sabbat is gone. New powers rule from the shadows. Old loyalties have decayed beneath neon lights, abandoned cathedrals, and the ruins of forgotten faiths.
You are Gabe, a vampire awakened from decades of torpor with fractured memories and a past buried deeper than the dead. Guided by Sam, a reluctant Thin-Blood, what begins as a hunt for a rogue ghoul spirals into a dangerous conspiracy tied to the Temple of Eternal Whispers, a vast underground cathedral built in devotion to a forbidden faith.
Your return was no accident.
As you investigate the mystery surrounding your forgotten past, you uncover disturbing truths about the Sabbat. Your release sets forgotten forces into motion, while something ancient still lies buried beneath the city, a secret capable of reshaping Montreal’s undead society forever. The deeper you delve into your connection with the Temple of Eternal Whispers, the more you unravel the darkness buried within yourself. Will you embrace the monstrous legacy of your Sabbat origins, or fight to preserve the last remnants of your humanity?
A Narrative-Driven CRPG
Set in a dark contemporary world driven by political intrigue, moral ambiguity, and immersive investigations, Eternal Whispers places roleplaying and consequence at the heart of the experience. There are no traditional combat encounters, but players remain free to pursue violent, manipulative, or ruthless approaches through the choices and paths offered throughout the game.
Every conversation, alliance, betrayal, or act of violence shapes the path through the story. Your choices shape relationships, uncover hidden truths, and influence how the world reacts to you, opening or closing opportunities along the way.
Fail-Forward Storytelling
Its demanding, uncompromising narrative is built on fail-forward design.
Botched negotiations, broken promises, missed clues, and reckless decisions do not stop progression; they transform the narrative, opening new consequences, tensions, and paths through the story.
Every success has a cost, and every failure leaves a scar.
Investigate the Shadows
Uncover fragmented truths of your past through exploration, dialogue, eavesdropping, and environmental storytelling as you piece together scattered clues hidden throughout Montreal’s underworld. Navigate deception, manipulation, and unreliable memories in a city where every conversation conceals another secret and every discovery carries consequences.
Not every mystery has a clear answer. Not every truth should be uncovered.
Build your kindred, shape your fate…
Immortality comes at a cost.
Struggle to preserve your humanity while confronting trauma, obsession, hunger, and the brutal politics of vampire society. Begin your journey by fully customizing your character’s appearance and attributes, then shape your destiny through the choices you make, whether you embrace the ruthless paths of the Sabbat or fight to preserve what remains of your humanity.
A Distinct Vision of the World of Darkness
Born from the critical and commercial success of Vampire: The Masquerade — CHAPTERS, Eternal Whispers builds upon an established narrative and artistic foundation while expanding the World of Darkness into a rich narrative CRPG experience.
Its gothic visual identity draws inspiration from dark illustration, concept art, and gothic architecture, blending contemporary urban decay with surreal underground sanctuaries hidden beneath Montreal.
Developed by a hybrid team experienced in both board games and video games, Eternal Whispers combines systemic roleplaying depth with handcrafted narrative design to create a cohesive and uncompromising vampire experience.
Key Features:
- Narrative-driven CRPG set in the World of Darkness
- Meaningful choices with lasting consequences
- Fail-forward storytelling where failure reshapes the narrative
- Investigative gameplay focused on discovery and deduction
- Deep roleplaying and character customization systems
- Final Death mode with permanent consequences
- A dark, modern Montreal inspired by gothic horror
Does this feel as if it will be the Vampire: The Masquerade game you've been wanting? Will there be a deeper reason for tying Gabe to the Sabbat from the start? How deep will the Humanity mechanics of the game go? Will we have powers and clans closer to those of the tabletop game, or will that always be a pipedream given the theater of the mind that can be? Let's discuss it all in the comments below. Just as with all of the things in the World Of Darkness, I'll be watching for new updates to come for Vampire: The Masquerade - Eternal Whispers. It does look as if it is further along in the cycle than we might have expected, so watch the site and all of our socials for when we have anything else to share about the game. It would be nice to have something new in the IP to play for Halloween, but that might be just as wishful as getting a true version of the tabletop game in a video game format.
