Publisher New Tales and developer Artefacts Studio have announced fantasy co-op tactical RPG, Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent, for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. It will launch this spring.
The game is based on the tabletop RPG Descent from Fantasy Flight Games.
"As fans of Descent, stepping into Terrinoth has been both a huge responsibility and an incredible joy," said Artefacts Studio CEO Bruno Chabanel. "With Terrinoth: 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 with a multiplayer cooperative mode to accurately convey the atmosphere of the board game. It’s easy to pick up, but there is always another strategy, another synergy or another build to discover."
New Tales CEO Cedric Marechal added, "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, and we can’t wait for the Descent tabletop community, and tactical RPG fans in general, to discover this new way of becoming heroes of Terrinoth."
