Become the witch of the woods in Blacktail.

Slavic myth comes to life in this first-person, open-world, action-adventure title. Discover Yaga's story and guide her along the path to become a fearsome guardian of the forest or the dark legend that haunts children's nightmares.

In Blacktail, play as Yaga, a young woman cast out of her medieval village for witchcraft. Guided by a dark voice, you'll take up a bow and mystical powers to create the myth of Baba Yaga by living out the origins of this classic folk story.

As Yaga, players hunt living memories through mythic woods while following the trail of missing children. Foul spirits hold the secrets of Yaga's past and keys to her future. On this journey, Yaga will have to make difficult choices leading her down the path of light to become the guardian of the woods or down a trail of darkness to the terror of nightmares. Make these decisions as you explore a surreal landscape that blends realism with storybook aesthetics.

In addition to Yaga's bow and gauntlet, players will have a selection of abilities that shift based on your morality throughout the journey.

Blacktail has revealed a new gameplay overview trailer preparing players for its December 15 release on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Experience the retelling of Baba Yaga’s myth and hunt down the elusive images of your past in an enchanted forest. As you learn to master your bow and unleash spells, the moral choices you make will guide you down the path to become a good or evil witch.

Gather resources to craft potions and arrows, use your bow, broom and gauntlet to engage in gripping boss fights, and encounter a variety of bizarre, talkative creatures on your adventures. Lift the veil on your past, decide the fate of the land, and witness the impact of each decision on your skills!

The choice is yours. Will you become the fearsome guardian of the woods, or the terror nightmares are made of?
