Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent Trailer

Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent delves into Fantasy Flight Games' dungeon crawling board game Descent. The video game features an original story set one year before Descent: Legends of the Dark. Dark forces are drawn to Terrinoth and your heroes search for a forgotten relic to turn the tides and prevent the world from plunging into eternal darkness.

Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent features turn-based combat, 8 signature adventurers with their own backgrounds and combat styles, 20 dungeons, and fully voiced storylines. The game can be played solo or with up to four players online. Friends can even join mid-dungeon. The campaign spans four themed Chapters. Each Chapter is "split in multiple self-contained Missions. Each can be completed in a one-night session and offer a unique, replayable experience." (Heroes of Descent)

Publisher New Tales and developer Artefacts Studio have announced Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent, a high fantasy tactical RPG based on the tabletop RPG Descent from Fantasy Flight Games. It will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam this spring. A demo is available now for PC.

“As fans of Descent, stepping into Terrinoth has been both a huge responsibility and an incredible joy,” said Artefacts Studio CEO Bruno Chabanel in a press release. “With Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent we wanted to capture the feeling of a tense tabletop dungeon crawl and translate it into a tactical RPG that flows naturally on PC and consoles with a multiplayer cooperative mode to accurately convey the atmosphere of the board game. It’s easy to pick up, but there is always another strategy, another synergy or another build to discover.”

New Tales CEO Cedric Marechal added, “This project sits exactly where we love to be: at the crossroads of strong [intellectual property], character-driven stories and smart, meaningful gameplay. We’re excited to partner with Artefacts Studio and asmodee, and we can’t wait for the Descent tabletop community, and tactical RPG fans in general, to discover this new way of becoming heroes of Terrinoth.”

Here is an overview of the game, via New Tales:
