White Wolf Returns as the Licensing and Publishing Entity of World of Darkness

As part of the rebranding, White Wolf and Paradox Interactive are collaborating as co-publishers on Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2, which is due to launch in October 2025. Additionally, the development of the World of Darkness tabletop role-playing game will move in-house, enabling the studio to expand its commitment to creating games and gameplay systems that complement its story worlds. "This marks a new era for White Wolf, empowering the brand to work closely with partners to create interconnected stories and develop more products for fans," says White Wolf.

Marco Behrmann, World of Darkness Executive Vice President at Paradox Interactive: "The Wolf is back, baby! I'm incredibly excited and proud to bring back White Wolf as an independent business entity, taking the legendary World of Darkness IP portfolio into the future. Establishing a dedicated publishing wing for our internally developed tabletop role-playing games strengthens our already successful licensing business. This lets us develop both classic and new IPs faster and with a clearer long-term transmedia vision, always in collaboration with our passionate fans and partners. The White Wolf name echoes in eternity, with strong brand recognition across entertainment sectors, including game makers, licensing partners, retailers, and distributors. This rebirth is a huge win for our fans because it empowers us to create the products, experiences, and worlds they want to explore."

White Wolf is led by Marco Behrmann (World of Darkness Executive Vice President), Jason Carl (Brand Marketing Manager) and Nikola Filipov (Director of Licensing), among other key members. World of Darkness became part of Paradox Interactive in November 2015. As an independent entity within Paradox Interactive, White Wolf oversees products set in World of Darkness story worlds across all major media, including video games, tabletop role-playing games, board games, streaming shows and more. All White Wolf projects, whether licensed or published, have direct access to the brand's development resources and marketing support.
