New World of Darkness
Explore the hidden horrors and secret societies of a modern world where supernatural threats are real. This series builds a dark urban fantasy setting through lore, history, and the unexplained. Discover the creatures and conspiracies that lurk in the shadows of familiar cities.
The New World of Darkness is a shared universe rather than a linear series, with various game lines exploring different supernatural factions. While there isn't a strict chronological reading order for all books, each core rulebook for a specific game line (like Vampire: The Requiem or Werewolf: The Forsaken) serves as an excellent starting point for that particular facet of the setting.
The New World of Darkness is a distinct setting from the original World of Darkness, sharing similar themes of urban horror but featuring entirely new lore, creatures, and societies. It was designed as a spiritual successor, offering a fresh take on the concept without direct continuity or character crossovers.
While the New World of Darkness is primarily a tabletop role-playing game, some video games have been developed based on its specific game lines. For example, Vampire: The Requiem has inspired certain digital adaptations that explore its unique lore and mechanics.
