Wicked Ones: Awakening of the Undead Expansion Pre-Order Now Live

Pre-orders are now live for "Awakening of the Undead," the exciting new expansion for the popular tabletop role-playing game "Wicked Ones." The publisher, "Second Edition," has launched a campaign inviting players to embrace their inner villain and command legions of the undead.

This expansion empowers players to assemble armies of decaying corpses, spread malevolence across the land, strike fear into the hearts of the living, and ultimately conquer kingdoms. "Awakening of the Undead" introduces fresh encounter structures and gameplay pacing, subtly shifting the focus while meticulously preserving the distinct villainous spirit and exaggerated, comic-book aesthetic that define the original "Wicked Ones" TTRPG.

Perfect for those who relish the idea of playing a powerful antagonist, this expansion also caters to fans of the monstrous entities seen in "Stranger Things" Season 3. Players will encounter or command a terrifying roster of creatures, including:

• The Corrupter: A collector of horrifying treasures.
• The Abomination: A constantly shifting monster.
• The Lich: A master necromancer.
• The Lurker: A predator hiding in the shadows.
• The Ravager: An unstoppable berserker.
• The Revenant: A vengeful entity risen from the dead.
• The Hive: A cruel collective mind in many bodies.

The crowdfunding initiative aims to secure 300,000 rubles, with exciting stretch goals planned. Reaching 400,000 rubles will unlock an exclusive "Golem" promo card, with subsequent milestones adding more unique cards like the "Wizard," "Paladin," "Sorcerer," "Diviner," and "Necromancer" as further funding milestones are met.

Physical rewards are anticipated to ship in October 2026. The base expansion is available for pre-order at 1850 rubles, with various bundles offered, including a collector's edition and comprehensive rulebook sets.
