Throw another one onto the teetering pile of video game adaptations; while Netflix is busy animating the likes of Castlevania<\/a> and DOTA<\/a>, and Sony fires out movies based on Uncharted and Monster Hunter – not to mention Paramount’s attempts with Sonic the Hedgehog<\/a> or Warner Bros’ live-action Mortal Kombat film<\/a> – Ubisoft is bringing its social deduction game Werewolves Within to the big screen, an endeavour that’s just received its first trailer.<\/p>\n

Werewolves Within, in its original guise, is a hidden roles and social deduction game where, at its simplest, a group of tries to determine which players are villagers and which are werewolves.
