Horizon Forbidden West Board Game Announced

Steamforged will launch the Kickstarter for a Horizon: Forbidden West board game in November.

A new board game based on Horizon Forbidden West will be launching on Kickstarter later this year. Today, Steamforged Games announced the first details of Horizon Forbidden West: Seeds of Rebellion, a new 1-4 player cooperative board game. The game uses the game engine from Steamforged's Horizon Zero Dawn board game, but with a new narrative element not present in the original game. "We've been working closely with Guerrilla to deliver not only a narrative for the board game but a canonical adventure that will cover never-before-seen events," Fraser McFetridge, lead designer of Horizon Forbidden West: Seeds of Rebellion, explained in a blogpost. Additionally, Horizon Forbidden West: Seeds of Rebellion will be a fully cooperative experience as opposed to the "semi-cooperative" experience in the original Horizon Zero Dawn game.

Steamforged's Horizon Forbidden West: Seeds of Rebellion will also be backwards compatible with the original Horizon Zero Dawn board game, so that players can bring over the machines from the original game. The game will also use a new cooperative stealth system, more in-depth combat encounters, and a huge suite of abilities for players to use when battling machines.
