For the upcoming Universal Pictures’ film, The Wolfman, Trigger created a ro-sham-bo style Facebook game called The Wolfman: Legend of the Full Moon where users can choose to fight as the legendary wolfman or a hunter from the early 1900s. Users can then name and customize their characters with nine possible powers or weapons they can take into battle. The game features a dynamic scoring system along with customizable character types in custom Victorian style hand drawn artwork created by our talented in-house artists. The numerous illustrations made for the application show users how their choices affect gameplay, as their character wears and holds the items they have equipped.

Players can challenge friends and other Facebook users to battles, and as they continue to progress they unlock new weapons and evolution abilities. Users can earn up to ten unique ranks specific to each character type. The game also features Global and Friends Leaderboards, and bonus content includes wallpapers and ringtones.
