Artefacts Studio and New Tales are turning the tabletop RPG from Fantasy Flight Games into a tactical RPG. This legendary board game series is coming to consoles and PCs for the first time!
Dark forces are drawn to the lands of Terrinoth. Yet, a forgotten relic lies somewhere that could turn the tides. This relic’s power must not fall into the wrong hands, lest the fate of the world plunge into unending darkness. Form a ragtag group of adventurers, journey into the perilous dungeons of Terrinoth, face the mysterious upheaval of an occult master, and unfold an original storyline that serves as a standalone prequel to Descent: Legends of the Dark.
Choose from eight signature adventurers, each with their own background and combat style. Hone your skills and perks by leveling up, upgrade your equipment at the Forge, and become an undefeated company of heroes. Explore twenty massive dungeons with unique environments and fully voiced storylines. Meet characters with dynamic dialogue that adapts to your party, and complete side quests with narrative highlights. Experience tactical combat without steep learning curves or complex rulebooks! Use positioning, elevation, line of sight, and timing to your advantage against cunning foes and ruthless bosses. Unleash multi-character combos and finish them with devastating synergy attacks.
Unfold an epic, story-driven campaign spanning four themed chapters, each split into multiple self-contained missions. Each chapter can be completed in one night and offers a unique, replayable experience. Perfect for game night! Face the forces of darkness alone or team up with friends online in four-player co-op with full controller support. They can even join mid-dungeon.
“As fans of Descent, stepping into Terrinoth was both a huge responsibility and an incredible joy. With Heroes of Descent, we wanted to capture the feeling of a tense tabletop dungeon crawl and translate it into a tactical RPG that flows naturally on PC and consoles. The game features a multiplayer cooperative mode that accurately conveys the atmosphere of the board game. The game is easy to pick up, but there is always another strategy, synergy, or build to discover,” wrote Bruno Chabanel, Artefacts Studio CEO, in the press release. “This project sits exactly where we love to be: at the crossroads of strong intellectual property, character-driven stories, and smart, meaningful gameplay. We’re excited to partner with Artefacts Studio and Asmodee. We can’t wait for the Descent tabletop community and tactical RPG fans to discover this new way of becoming heroes of Terrinoth,” added New Tales CEO Cédric Maillard.
Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent will be released sometime this spring for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC. A demo is currently available on Steam.
