HeroQuest Publication Chronology

Apologies I think my update wasn't as clear as I hoped!

I reposted the entries for the current version 2021 remake, because I've decided not to include those on this topic and keep this for the various 89 and 90s releases, and am hoping that someone else can start a new topic to track the current releases so I thought they might want what I have already recorded as a starting point for their post...

Not sure now about Jungles of Delthrak release date.

Amazon.com US lists JoD release date as July 4, 2024 (and German edition Aug 5, 2024).

I'm surprised we haven't heard more from the Facebook people about the First Light early release. Maybe it turned out to be inaccurate?

For a set that isn't planned for release until well after Christmas to actually get a pre-Christmas release would be kind of a big deal, even if it wasn't for 100% of the people who placed a pre-order.

The recent App pop-up advertising that First Light would be restored (to the app) in "early January" is helpful, but for all we know that just means literally that, a restoration of the file access to quests 2-9 (and the Caverns board image that was removed from version 4.2 after being included in 4.0/4.1 for the even numbered quests that use it mostly) and nothing more... just to coincide with the Target release. And the Fanroll FL dice and the FL sets themselves will be released in the various European countries (and other language editions) Feb, March, April, and by May it should all be released, if we believe the dates on HasbroPulse that have been up for awhile.

But it's all very interesting. It's important to keep that publication history in mind, so I'm grateful for the OP and contributions. It's tough even keeping track of all the stuff since the Avalon Hill re-release, much less what happened back in the day, when most of us were kids and didn't know what the kids on the other side of the pond were seeing all that time ago, in an age when the average player cared less about such things. But we care now!
