Very interesting announcement that you have made Cephalofair Games. Its flagship board game, Gloomhaven, is getting a second edition that will completely transform the RPG. The remodeling will be possible after the crowdfunding campaign that will begin in BackerKit on June 20.
Gloomhaven: Second Edition is presented as a revised version of all the learning acquired by the team led by Isaac Childrens. Feedback provided by the community, testers, co-designers, and developers has been taken into account to deliver the best possible review.
New classes, items and scenarios await us, as well as a rebalancing and redesign of the already known content. In addition, we will enjoy new illustrations, narrative plots and events to discover and even a reputation system based on the different factions. Childres himself has indicated that he is facing a golden opportunity:
“Although Gloomhaven is a much-loved game, I’m not sure anyone would consider it perfect. I’m delighted to have the opportunity to make this amazing game even better by polishing and refining the content, based on what the team and I have learned in the last six years by listening to the fans and playing the game a lot. This new edition is going to be even more fantastic.”
The compatibility with the original Gloomhaven will be total and the production of the units is expected to begin in early 2024 so that its final launch occurs months later. Please note that we will be receiving new tokens and items to play with in Second Edition, so an upgrade kit for the board game will not be sold separately. Drew Penn and Dennis Vögele are primarily responsible for this remodeling.
