- Spanish company GameZone will create a new heroquest 25th aniversary edition.
- They have distribution rights to Spain but not to other countries, but they will release the game in multiple languages and there are plenty of spanish online shops with worldwide shipment.
- They may use a crowdfunding campaign but it's not confirmed.
- There will be initially four heroes in male and female versions.
- Furniture and tokens will be all in 3D (resin) instead of cardboard.
- The board will be reversible (two in one).
- There won't be fimirs, but there will be equivalent reptilian creatures.
- It won't be overly expensive (in line with Descent V2).

Its a pretty expensive venture. The whole board-game would at least require 50-60 thousand, on the low end. Probably much more, actually. They could have a cheaper method of acquiring the assets needed to make the game. I am still waiting on sculptors to get started with ours.

resin furniture is costly may be worth it just for that

wait and see if/when this gets any more official posts or a KS. a nice updated version of HQ would be great. a better magic system was all it ever lacked in my mind anyway.
not holding my breath but still cant wait to see what comes out of this.

4 heroes, two of each...that makes 8.
