Descent – Legends of the Dark Revealed

Teased at the end of Fantasy Flight Games’ Gen Con In-Flight Video, Descent – Legends of the Dark has now received an official announcement, price point, and detailed preview.

From FFG’s Announcement

“For years, your journeys have taken you across the fantasy realm of Terrinoth, venturing into dark forests, shadowy cities, ancient crypts, and misty swamps… but your true legend is about to begin.

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce Descent: Legends of the Dark, the definitive cooperative dungeon-crawling board game for one to four players!

Forge your own legend together with your friends as you adventure across the vibrant fantasy realm of Terrinoth! Powered by its fully integrated free companion app, Descent: Legends of the Dark puts you in the role of a budding hero with their own playstyle and abilities. Together with your unlikely companions, you’ll begin an unexpected adventure—an adventure told across the sixteen quests of the Blood and Flame campaign. Throughout your campaign, you’ll face undead lurking in the mists, demonic barbarians stalking the wilds, and even more terrifying threats. With 46 pieces of 3D terrain and 40 stunning hero and monster miniatures to draw you into the game, your greatest adventure is yet before you!”

Fantasy Flight Games continues to pack their games with impressive art and miniatures.

The game uses an integrated companion app, allowing all players to work together to save Terrinoth. The app will control all the “GM” portions of the game from enemy activation to unveiling new portions of the map as the players progress. After games, the app even provides shopping and crafting opportunities for your adventurers.

For owners of Descent – Journey in the Dark, Legends shares the background and themes of Journey, but is explicitly not a third edition and will not be compatible.

The current retail price stands at $174.95 with an expected release in the second quarter of 2021.

Interested? FFGLive presented an hour and 40 minute video digging down into the details.

CMO Games will provide preorder pricing and information closer to the release date.
