The original developers behind Mansions Of Madness: Mother’s Embrace, LuckyHammers, shut down in 2019. “While this did come up as an unexpected issue, development has never halted and we have now made arrangements to ensure full continuity on current and future titles,” publishers Asmodee Digital said last August. Evidently, other changes were afoot.
Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embraceis still a game where a squad of supernatural investigators in the 1920s will be on the trail of terrors. Exploration and investigation will still escalate into a bit of turn-based violence. You’ll still lose your minds looking at hard maths questions about shapes, or whatever it was that always scared Lovecrafters beyond description. Though the new plan will venture beyond a mere mansion, into places including Miskatonic University, Arkham Asylum, and a Louisiana bayou. I am well into their bold fashion choices:
Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace is due outon Steamin 2021. Asmodee plan to gab more about the gameduring a livestreamas part ofthe Steam Digital Tabletop Fest, at 8pm tonight (noon Pacific). The event started today and brings days of dev talks and discounts.
Asmodee specialise in publishing video games based on board games - the likes of Agricola, Carcassonne, and even some which aren’t about fields. Their latest, released a fortnight ago, isa faithful adaptation of the Game Of Thrones game (of thrones).
Disclosure: Former RPS vidbud Alice Liguori works for Auroch Digital, who organised the boardfest in collaboration with Valve.
