- Девочка-Яга: Обзор Blacktail - 15 January 2023
В предрелизных материалах авторы Blacktail завлекали игроков славянским фольклором, обещая оригинальное повествование, основанное на былинах и сказках о Бабе-Яге и не только. Почва, конечно, плодотворная и востребованная, к примеру, можно вспомнить тепло принятую российскую Black Book или интересную румынскую Yaga , но насколько хорошо удалось раскрыть тему полякам из T he Parasight ? Данный вопрос, а также основные геймплейные механики и проделанную работу постараемся изучить в обзоре.

Hello everyone! We are proud to share with you the Behind The Scenes story of our work on BLACKTAIL. Discover our close-knit production team behind the game - from the very beginning to its upcoming release: December 15! Join the team beyond Yaga’s adventure. A true reflection of how the studio’s ideas developed into this magical and intriguing, surreal fairy-tale world, and also breaks down the fourth wall by adding BLACKTAIL’s two most distinctive characters to the video - The Black Cat (Nergal, Behemoth’s front man) and The Voice (Avalon Penrose, know for playing Megaera in Hades.)

- The voices of BLACKTAIL revealed! - 12 December 2022
Hello everyone! We’re thrilled to share with you the talented cast that bring to life the iconic characters of BLACKTAIL. Read the combined interview with Valerie Rose Lohman (known from What Remains of Edith Finch, Wolfenstein Youngblood) and Avalon Penrose (known for playing Megaera in Hades), BLACKTAIL’s Yaga and The Voice respectively and watch Nergal (Behemoth’s front man) step into The Black Cat’s role. Could you tell us a bit about yourself and your roles? A: I am Avalon Penrose, I’m mostly known for my role as Megaera in the game Hades. There are a lot of similarities between Megaera and my character of the Voice in BLACKTAIL. They’re both strong, powerful, dominant women. You don’t see a lot of female characters in the media that are portrayed with this kind of harshness and bluntness. Megaera, however, has an undertone of love for her partner, who she’s always going to love in…

- The Skills a Witch Needs to Get Ahead - 29 December 2021
Hi everyone! We’ve shared quite a bit about the inspirations and history behind BLACKTAIL, but now let’s talk gameplay—namely the skills you’ll need to survive in the woods! Yaga, being a peasant girl, already knows quite a bit about hunting, trapping, starting fires, and the like, so the skills you’ll be focused on collecting fall more in Combat and Witchcraft categories. As you explore BLACKTAIL, you’ll discover all kinds of materials to hoard. Some, like feathers, herbs, and branches are common, but you’ll be using them frequently to craft arrows and other on-the-go items. Others, such as Spider’s Eyes are found far less frequently or are dropped by monsters roaming the woods. Even rarer items, such as teeth, can be discovered in hidden chests or in the lairs of very dangerous creatures. Finding the items to unlock new skills is just half the battle. You’ll also have to scour the wor…
- Which Witch is Which - IGN and Other Major Media Preview BLACKTAIL - 9 December 2021
Hi everyone! We promised a look at gameplay, and we’ve delivered! Media got hands-on with an early version of BLACKTAIL for the world’s first previews of our upcoming action-adventure game! Spoiler, they loved their time with the game AND IGN called BLACKTAIL “consistently disquieting”, so it sounds like we’re exactly on track to where we want to be as we create this surreal world. "Even if I was on my best behavior though, nothing could save me from the downright creepiness of Blacktail’s otherworldly wilds. Filled with strange noises everywhere I turned, ghostly apparitions appearing and disappearing before me, and giant rabbit skull thingies all over the place, there was pretty much no point in time where I felt at ease.” ~IGN Head on over to IGN take to read the preview article "The core gameplay is entertaining enough and services the real pull of the project so far: its fantastic…
