Renegade Game Studios Announces Anne Rice's Immortal Universe Roleplaying Game

Renegade Game Studios and AMC Global Media have announced Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe Roleplaying Game. The game, based upon the hit AMC television series (which are based, in turn, on Anne Rice’s classic novels), is due to come to Backerkit in October.

AMC have been adapting several of Anne Rice’s work for television over the last few years, with shows Interview with the Vampire, The Mayfair Witches, and Talamasca: The Secret Order bringing her works to the small screen and new audiences. Other projects are also in development.

Anne Rice’s best known work, which was also adapted to the big screen with the Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt 1994 movie of the same name, is Interview with the Vampire, which was originally published in 1976. The novel, which sees a vampire named Louis de Pointe du Lac recalling his 200-year long life story to a reporter, was hugely successfully and influenced so much of the development of modern vampire stories and games.

The TV shows are all set in the modern day, and actually have the novel ‘Interview with the Vampire’ in the story with Louis revisting the now much older journalist to revisit his original story in the titular TV series.

Step into the world of Anne Rice'sImmortal Universe, AMC’s acclaimed original franchise based on the beloved book series, in an all-new tabletop roleplaying game where relationships matter more than power, memory is as dangerous as any monster, and every choice echoes across generations.

Create your own stories of vampires, witches, psychics, and ordinary humans whose lives become forever entwined through love, loyalty, ambition, and loss. Together, you'll build chronicles that span decades, or centuries, exploring the emotional consequences and impossible choices of immortality.

This is a gothic horror RPG where the greatest monsters are often our own desires.

A Different Kind of Supernatural Roleplaying Game

While many supernatural RPGs focus on the struggle for power, political intrigue, and territorial conflict, Anne Rice's Immortal Universe Roleplaying Game tells stories about relationships.

Family. Devotion. Betrayal. Loneliness. Memory.

The greatest threat is never simply an enemy across the table… often, it’s someone you can’t let go. Every decision carries emotional weight, and every relationship has the potential to reshape the world.

Stories Across the Ages

Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe isn't confined to a single moment in history. 

You will build chronicles that move between modern nights and forgotten decades. Follow characters whose histories stretch across lifetimes and eras. Discover how ancient promises, old betrayals, and memories long buried continue to shape the present.

In this world, the past is never truly gone.

A Storytelling System Designed for Anne Rice's Immortal Universe

The game's mechanics are built to reinforce the themes that define Anne Rice's stories featured in the hit television series:

Success can be as dramatic as failure. Even when characters achieve exactly what they desire, victory may create unforeseen complications, heartbreak, or tragedy.

Flashbacks reshape the present. Using the game's Flashback System, players revisit moments from their characters' pasts, from brief interludes to entire sessions, revealing new truths that can transform the current story.

Time is a river, but you can fly. A chronicle might begin in modern-day New Orleans before traveling back to Paris in the 1800s, revealing events that forever change what players thought they knew.

The past is a mechanic. Memory, unreliable narration, and personal history are woven directly into gameplay, making history an active part of every session rather than mere background lore.

Collaborative storytelling. Through the game's Rewrite mechanic, players may gain opportunities to briefly gain narrative control, deeply influencing scenes as they unfold and helping to shape dramatic moments.

Three damage tracks represent physical, psychological, and emotional harm, ensuring the consequences of every encounter extend beyond simple injury.

Healing comes through identity. Recovery isn't just about resting; instead, it comes from embracing who your character truly is. The more authentically you play your character, the more you’ll heal your mind and body.
