Steamforged Games Announces Pre-Order for Resident Evil: The Board Game

Steamforged Games, leading UK studio for tabletop video game adaptations, has officially announced a pre-order for Resident Evil: The Board Game, on August 18th.

Fans of the game can get in early and avoid disappointment by taking advantage of the pre-order to secure access to the board game. Available online from steamforged.com, the horror classic will offer open world exploration of the iconic Spencer Mansion in a cooperative survival horror campaign for one to four players.

Based on the 2002 remake of the genre-defining CAPCOM video game, Resident Evil: The Board Game will see players take on the role of Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) members who find themselves stranded in a mysterious mansion after setting out to investigate a series of bloody and unusual murders.

The board game adaptation is a campaign game playable over 30 hours, where every decision counts and has far-reaching consequences. As campaigns progress, the mansion will evolve and the danger level will rise.

The game is one of six Steamforged collaborations with video game giant CAPCOM, including Monster Hunter World Iceborne: The Board Game which grossed more than £2.8 million on Kickstarter and gained more than 13,000 backers earlier this year.

Steamforged Games is renowned for its adaptations of popular video games including DARK SOULS™: The Board Game, DARK SOULS™: The Roleplaying Game Game, Monster Hunter World: The Board Game, Horizon Zero Dawn™: The Board Game and many more.

Mat Hart, Co-founder and Creative Director at Steamforged Games, said: “Resident Evil: The Board Game is yet another iconic CAPCOM video game we've had the pleasure of bringing to the tabletop. With every adaptation, we put our all into evoking the emotions fans felt the first time they experienced the video game.

“At Steamforged, one of the most important aspects of creating these games is to be true to the experience of the original. We want fans to continue to love playing with these characters in a whole new way. Resident Evil broke new ground and defined the survival horror genre, so this is even more true for this particular game.

“This is also the third time we've been able to create a board game set in the Resident Evil universe, so we know fans are already excited for this launch. The fact this launch is based on the original game is a real honour for us; as gamers ourselves, we understand the history and gravity these iconic games hold and we simply can't wait for players to experience this in all its glory.”
