Nomad Games and Balor Games have revealed HeroQuest: Digital Edition, an officially licensed adaptation of HeroQuest, the tabletop classic that helped define the dungeon-crawling adventure genre.
Unveiled during The MIX Fall Showcase, HeroQuest: Digital Edition brings the universe to PC via Steam in 2027, with a Closed Beta playtest coming soon.
An enduring tabletop is reborn as a digital adventure with HeroQuest: Digital Edition. The sinister Dread sorcerer Zargon seeks to conquer the Realm, and only four brave heroes stand in his way.
Players will lead the Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf and Wizard on a perilous quest into the dungeon to destroy the forces of Dread and protect the Realm. Players can also take on the role of Zargon, plotting and scheming behind the scenes to strike down the opposing fellowship.
HeroQuest: Digital Edition aims to offer flexible play for up to five players, from commanding an entire party of heroes solo to online co-op for up to four players controlling the heroes, with a fifth player able to take on the role of Zargon if they so should choose to side with evil. Through tactical turn-based combat, players roll the dice of fate to determine their path forward.
Survival depends on the fellowship working together, using each hero’s unique strengths and carefully positioning the party to overcome Zargon’s challenges. Players can also let their creativity run riot with the Quest Editor to craft their own quests, or explore those forged by the community through built-in mod.io integration, allowing access to endless adventures.
Players can prepare to answer the call by wishlisting the game on Steam now
