Wraith
The first bit of gameplay for Wraith: The Oblivion — Afterlife is here to show us a bit more on how we will be taking on the role of a Wraith
It is a great time to be a fan of video games and the World Of Darkness right now, as we have a new look at Wraith: The Oblivion — Afterlife to take in after everything else from Gamescom so far. That is all happening virtually, which is fitting for this one as Fast Travel Games is working on a virtual reality game here in with the IP. Something we all knew was happening a while back but had only been told we would see gameplay for Wraith during the event. Now that things are in full swing, we have that gameplay to look at and a bit more to go on for the game besides the basics. Also, full confirmation that we will see it on the PC VR platforms as well as the PSVR ones. Great news indeed.
As mentioned, we have some gameplay to look at for Wraith that is also in an early form of it all. Even with the game being slated for Early 2021, we need to be a little kind to the visuals and stuff as it is all test footage. It does a great job of placing us in the role of someone that has just passed over and has to deal with the horrors of the Underworld. It has that right level of curiosity to figure things out but need for us to sneak around to keep away from those Specters out there. Also other Wraiths and things that we always have to worry about in Wraith: The Oblivion. I am a bit curious to see how the Shadow aspect of it all will play in, if at all. It would be interesting to see something like we had in BioShock with the guiding voice, but fans of the IP will have all of that spoiled right from the start if it is.
Wraith: The Oblivion — Afterlife — Gameplay
Even the dead are terrified inside the Barclay Mansion. As a Wraith, unravel its secrets and hide from the sinister Spectres trailing your footsteps. Wraith: The Oblivion — Afterlife is a first-person VR horror exploration game set in the World Of Darkness universe. Coming Early 2021 to Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift/S, HTC Vive, Valve Index, & PSVR headsets.
Become A Wraith
As a spirit of the dead you can manipulate objects from a distance, change the environment around you or pass through solid walls. Your Wraith powers grow as you delve deeper into the Shadowlands, allowing you to reach new areas.
The Barclay Mansion
Set against a backdrop of modern Hollywood decadence and occult research, explore the massive Barclay Mansion to gradually reveal its terrifying history. You are not alone in there, so use both caution and stealth.
A World Of Dark Secrets
Afterlife shares the same universe as Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse, where monsters are real and live among us. For the first time in history, play a World Of Darkness game from the Wraith’s perspective.
How excited are you to see this new footage for the Wraith VR game? Does it all feel right for you and fitting for the setting or is it still too early to tell for now? Do you think we will have to deal with the Shadow in the game or will that be left aside for the more horror and stealth aspects we are going to have to play with? Let us have all of those answers and more down in the comments and then feel free to discuss it all. If we have more for Wraith: The Oblivion — Afterlife, you better bet we will have it here. It is one of my favorite IPs from the World Of Darkness so you know we will have every aspect we can have.
