Terrinoth: Heroes Unleashed – The Descent Board Game Comes to Life in Videogames

Artefacts Studio and New Tale Announce Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent

Artefacts Studio and New Tale have recently unveiled Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent, the first video game adaptation of Fantasy Flight Games’ popular Descent board game. Unlike previous adaptations, Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent will feature a brand-new storyline, offering a fresh experience for longtime Descent fans and serving as a welcoming entry point for newcomers to the franchise.

Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent is set one year before the events of Descent: Legends of the Dark, expanding the rich lore of the world while introducing exciting new narratives. Players can expect a turn-based RPG gameplay experience, where they will lead a group of heroes through various dungeons. The game also offers the flexibility of engaging in the main story campaign or embarking on standalone questlines that can be completed in a few hours. Whether playing solo or in co-op mode, there is something for everyone in Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent.

“Venturing into Terrinoth as fans of Descent has been a rewarding experience for us. With Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent, our goal was to capture the essence of a thrilling tabletop dungeon crawl and translate it into a tactical RPG seamlessly playable on PC and consoles. The multiplayer cooperative mode aims to recreate the immersive atmosphere of the board game. While easy to pick up, the game offers endless possibilities for strategies, synergies, and character builds to explore,” shared Bruno Chabanel, CEO of Artefacts Studio.

For those eager to get a taste of what Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent has to offer, a demo is currently available on Steam. The full game is slated for release in Spring on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series XS platforms.
