Why you’ll stay

Built for highlight reels

FAQ

Questions

A free-to-play 5v5 tactical shooter. Every player is a soldier who can turn into a werewolf at any moment – with wall runs, trickshots and classic modes like Search & Destroy.

Yes. Weapons are earned with in-game currency and rank, never sold for real money. Later there will be optional cosmetics like a Founder pack – nothing that makes you stronger.

The Closed Beta runs in waves of test weekends. Sign up with your e-mail and you’ll get a personal tester account when your wave starts.

PC (Windows). Beta testers get a direct download together with their account.

This site already speaks English, German and Turkish. The game is planned in all three.

We start in Europe (Germany). More regions follow where players are – that’s why we ask where you play from.

If you remember the golden era of soldier-and-werewolf shooters, you’ll feel right at home. HOWLFRONT is our love letter to it – rebuilt from scratch, with modern netcode and a fresh look.
