Steamforged Games is heading back to the world of Sony’s Horizon series forHorizon Forbidden West: Seeds of Rebellion, and the Kickstarter campaign will go live on November 21.
The boardgame and miniature maker has made a name for itself over the years with tabletop adaptations ofDark Souls,Horizon Zero West,Monster Hunter, andResident Evil, alongside a slew of original properties such as the hugely enjoyable competitive hex-based battlerGodtearand dungeon-crawlerBardsung.
Details onHorizon Forbidden West: Seeds of Rebellionare reasonably thin on the ground, but Steamforged Games has said that this time out, it’s a fully co-operative experience that can be played either solo or with up to four players. The story is also canon within the lore ofHorizon, so fans of the series have that to look forward to.
For folks curious about how the story will be implemented in the game, Steamforged Games has thefirst entry in a diary seriesfrom lead designer Fraser McFetridge that runs through some details on how the narrative works.
The game will be set before Aloy’s arrival in the Forbidden West, as rebellion and unease are growing amongst the Tenakth clans. It will be up to you and your fellow players to get to the bottom of the rebellion and stop it in its tracks before a tide of violence erupts across the land.
Best of all, there will be a whole new range of miniatures included, and the range ofHorizon Zero Dawnproducts that Steamforged Games already has available proves that Guerrilla Games’ beautiful machine designs translate wonderfully into miniature form.
Anybody interested in watching the campaign or picking up the game can head on over to theofficial Kickstarter pageand hit “Notify me on launch,” as long as you have a Kickstarter account already.
