Russian-speaking players will soon have the opportunity to delve into the world of Wyrmhunt, a cooperative card game set to launch in 2027. This fantasy adventure, designed for 1–4 participants, invites players to join a guild of valiant hunters, engaging in turn-based battles and embarking on perilous quests.

Publisher Board Zeppelin has officially announced its plans to localize Wyrmhunt, a tabletop game that will immerse players, taking on the roles of legendary hunters, into a realm brimming with tactical combat and pivotal decisions. The game distinctly draws inspiration from the aesthetics and atmospheric charm of 90s Japanese role-playing games, notably citing classics such as Lufia, Breath of Fire, and Final Fantasy as its key influences.

Wyrmhunt stands apart from abstract Euro-puzzles or traditional dungeon-crawlers filled with plastic miniatures. It offers a unique card-based adventure infused with a pronounced JRPG spirit, where elements like hero progression, seamless team collaboration, and thrilling turn-based skirmishes are central to the experience. The game is currently undergoing active development, and Board Zeppelin intends to release it in Russia simultaneously with its global launch, which is anticipated for next year.
