Hunter: the Vigil is an upcoming game line from White Wolf, announced on January 2, 2008, when the sponsors for the second Free RPG Day were announced.^[1] It will be the sixth game line to be part of the World of Darkness. Like Promethean: The Created and Changeling: The Lost, Hunter: the Vigil will be a limited game line, consisting of a core setting book and several supplements. A board game is also planned.^[2]

The first hints of the new game line came in the Changeling: The Lost core book. At the back of the book was a word search, and after finding all the words and removing several Xs, all that was left was a cryptic message: thehuntersarrivetwothousandeight.^[3]

There will be two sets of quickstart rules, one for FreeRPGDay and another that will be in line with the usual quickstart rules for the other game lines.^[4] They will be "About 50% different."^[5]
