Werewolf: The Apocalypse just got one of its weirdest, most beloved props back in print, and the new edition lands today, 13 May 2026. Renegade Game Studios has dropped a refreshed Chronicle of the Black Labyrinth, the first reprint in 30 years, retooled for the game's current 5th Edition rules. If your chronicle has wanted a sourcebook that doubles as an in-world prop, this is it.

See how it worksFor the uninitiated, the book is presented as an in-world artefact: a guide to Wyrm cultists meant to be passed around the table as a prop while the Storyteller and players try to puzzle out the horrors of the World of Darkness. The reprint pulls in new and collected pages from the limited-edition Laws of the Wild (2001) and updates the lot for Werewolf 5E, the line Renegade has been steadily expanding since taking over the World of Darkness licence. Pre-orders come with a free PDF of the book at no extra charge.
Werewolf: The Apocalypse first hit tables in 1992 and has been one of the cornerstone World of Darkness games alongside Vampire: The Masquerade ever since. The original Chronicle of the Black Labyrinth was a 1996 release from White Wolf, infamous among long-time fans for being the kind of book that surfaces in second-hand shops at silly prices. With The Coming Destruction Chronicle landing in June, Renegade clearly has plans for the Garou line through the rest of the year.
