wild wolf game announced today Axis Saga: Silent War, dark fantasy horror setting Dungeons & Dragons 5E (2014 and 2024); Kickstarter campaign scheduled to launch on April 14, 2026.
It was created by Wyldwolf Games, a game store based in Minneapolis. The company started with professional game master-led tabletop experiences, private game rooms, events, and programming for beginners. Developed through years of real campaigns, real players, and community storytelling, Axis Saga: Silent War is designed as a living world shaped by play, outcomes, and stories that influence future norms. The project is set in a 16th century-inspired world threatened by the proliferation of portals, rising corruption, and despair known as the “Great Silence,” and is built to support “morally complex storytelling and high-stakes play.”
“What we wanted was Axis Saga: Silent War “Rather than a traditional good-versus-evil fantasy setting, it feels like a world shaped by hard choices, real-world consequences, and moral gray areas. That philosophy comes from years of community-driven play, where player choices and table stories helped shape the setting itself,” said Chase McAllister, founder of Wild Wolf Games.
The settings, systems, and creative foundations are already in place. Axis Saga: Silent War Join Kickstarter as a world already in motion. At the heart of the experience is The Gift, Axis’ unique take on vampirism. It introduces a system for players shaped by seduction, restraint, and agency rather than a traditional curse-based framework.
