About WoD Online News
We launched WoD Online News because we were tired of scrolling through scattered forums and half-empty subreddits just to find out what was happening in the World of Darkness. As UK players ourselves, we wanted one place that treated both the tabletop legacy and the online gaming side of this universe with the seriousness they deserve. So we built it.
Our Mission: Keeping UK Fans Informed
Our mission is simple: to be the go-to source for World of Darkness and MMO news, written with UK players firmly in mind. That means tracking everything from Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 through to the long-rumoured World of Darkness MMO, and making sure British players know what’s coming, when, and whether it’s worth their time.
Why We Focus on World of Darkness
The World of Darkness is one of the richest settings in gaming, yet its news coverage has always been patchy. We think that’s a shame. Whether it’s a new sourcebook, a patch for an online RPG, or a studio reshuffle, we believe this universe deserves consistent, knowledgeable reporting rather than occasional headlines.
Serving the UK Gaming Community
Release dates, pricing, server locations and event timings all hit differently when you’re based in the UK. We keep an eye on the details that matter to the UK gaming community, from local conventions and meet-ups to the practical realities of playing online RPGs across European servers.
What We Cover: From Vampire to Online RPGs
Our editorial scope spans the full breadth of the World of Darkness and the wider MMO landscape. If it involves vampires, werewolves, mages or persistent online worlds, it’s on our radar.
Core World of Darkness Titles
- Vampire: The Masquerade, including video game adaptations and tabletop releases
- Werewolf: The Apocalypse, from sourcebooks to digital projects
- Mage: The Ascension and other classic lines
- Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 and its ongoing development
MMO and Online RPG News
We also cover the studios shaping this space, including Paradox Interactive and CCP Games. From expansion announcements to server merges, we report on the MMO news that affects how you actually play, not just what looks good in a trailer.
Our Team Approach: Informed, Opinionated, Conversational
Our editorial team has spent years with tabletop RPGs and MMOs, so we write from experience rather than press releases alone. We’re informed but never stuffy, and we’re happy to share an opinion when something deserves one. Accuracy comes first, but we won’t pretend a bad launch is good just to keep things polite.
Editorial Independence and Transparency
We are independent. Where we have relationships with studios or publishers, we say so. Where we’re speculating, we label it as speculation. Readers deserve to know the difference between confirmed news and our own educated guesswork.
Engaging with Our Readers
We don’t want to talk at the UK World of Darkness community; we want to talk with it. Comments, emails and social replies all shape what we cover next, and we read far more of them than you might expect.
