The app will also keep track of their health and any turn-to-turn events that occur, and you'll also attack through the app. When you fire up the campaign, you'll meet characters and go through a storyline until you get to the destination, and then the app will walk you through which tiles to place and what elements to place on them, as well as any enemies that enter the fray and where your heroes go. Each scenario (which is also part of a full campaign) is played using a combination of the App and physical tiles and elements. That all might sound pretty common for experiences of this type, but it's Descent's execution that truly sets it apart. You'll explore enemy-infested forests and fortresses as well as cities brimming with intriguing personalities and surprising events, and, along the way, you'll encounter everything in between. To do this, you'll need to utilize your character's unique skills and weaponry, which you can upgrade and customize as you explore new areas and obtain new treasure. Ghosts of Greyhaven and Act II are both yet to have a release date or price confirmed, in line with Fantasy Flight’s acknowledgement at the start of the In-Flight Report that ongoing global shipping issues meant it could not currently provide release dates.So, what is Descent: Legend of the Dark? It's a cooperative experience that accommodates 1 to 4 players, who take control of 1 of 6 heroes to combat the Uthuk and bring peace back to Terrinoth. “Obviously, I’m not ready to show off this right now, but just seeing how big it is should give you a pretty good sense of scale and an idea of what we’re going for in Act II, and what it’s going to bring to the table.” “Just to show you how much we’re upping the ante on this one,” Gerber said while holding the figures side by side. Gerber teased the set with a notably tall miniature hidden under a cloth, which was held next to a bandit model from Act I as comparison. Gerber also briefly confirmed that Act II of Legends of the Dark is “well on its way”, with a Fantasy Flight blog post adding that the planned sequel “is still a ways off, but development is going smoothly”. The story will be possible to play as a standalone adventure, or as part of an ongoing playthrough of Legends of the Dark. Ghosts of Greyhaven will serve as a “side story” to Legends of the Dark’s Blood and Flame campaign, Gerber said, introducing content that would slot into the core set as well as all future expansions. Gerber announced the expansion by displaying a prototype miniature of a “tricky” new enemy type from the upcoming set that appeared to be wielding magic. “Long-time fans of Terrinoth and Descent will find many things that are familiar about this latest take on FFG’s classic fantasy setting, but also a lot of differences as we move forward,” Gerber added.Īmong the next releases in the series will be the first expansion for Descent: Legends of the Dark, Ghosts of Greyhaven. During Fantasy Flight Games’ In-Flight Report stream broadcast as part of Gen Con Online 2021, studio head Chris Gerber confirmed Legends of the Dark as “the first game to take place in the newly-rebranded Terrinoth Legends universe”, hinting at other upcoming releases that will expand the world and lore.
