High fantasy tactical RPG Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent is now available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam for $34.99 / £28.99 / €34.99 / ¥3,630, publisher New Tales and developer Artefacts Studio announced.
“As longtime fans ourselves, it was a huge challenge to adapt the license in a way that stayed true to the essence of Terrinoth while still offering our own interpretation of it,” said Artefacts Studio CEO Bruno Chabanel in a press release. “We wanted to capture the unique atmosphere and accessibility of Descent‘s universe, and naturally translate them into a true video game experience without ever losing the soul of the original board game.”
Asmodee vice president of narrative games Bill Altig added, “Seeing the Descent universe come to life in a full-fledged video game experience has been a long-standing request from fans. Artefacts Studio has managed to stay true to the original spirit while delivering a stunning cinematic presentation.”
