Corvus Belli: Blogbeitrag zu Warcrow

You’ve been hearing about a cool-looking fantasy game going by the name „Warcrow“ for a while now, but you’re not entirely sure about it’s nature: is it a dungeon crawler? A wargame? Was it a Kickstarter product? Has it been released yet? Well, worry not, we’re here to clear up all your doubts!

You see, back in 2023 we unveiled a new fantasy IP called Warcrow. This universe, created by our development team and narrative writers, tells the tale of different nations that coexist with a mysterious mist in the magical lands of Lindwurm. We’ve created a very detailed lore has been for this universe, including its chronology, its characters, and so on… and from it, we can extract battles, stories, and more…

Warcrow Adventures – the Dungeon Crawler

From this universe emerged a dungeon crawler called Warcrow Adventures. This cooperative tabletop game takes players on a narrative adventure with plenty of action and mystery. In it, characters make decisions, fight monsters, and investigate different scenarios to complete their quests. The game is joined by an app that guides the campaign and manages the enemies who challenge the team.

In addition to the core game box, Warcrow Adventures has two expansion boxes that add to the story/adventure with new scenarios, characters, and enemies.

This game was released to the public through Kickstarter in 2023, with exclusive benefits for those who supported the campaign. The highly successful campaign reached its conclusion that same year.

It’ll also be released in stores as a catalog product, so that everyone can access it.

Warcrow – the Wargame

We’ve recently announced the launch of a second game: a wargame.

If you’re familiar with Corvus Belli, you’ll know that we’ve been offering a science fiction wargame—Infinity—for over 20 years. This game has sparked an incredible community of players, as well as countless characters and skirmishes.

In this case, we’ve taken the same path: creating a long-running wargame with the name of the universe: Warcrow, the wargame.

This is the game we wanted to create when we began imagining the universe, and that’s why, being the main product, it bears the same name.

This wargame is a 1v1 battle game where players lead an army and fight against the enemy faction.

Warcrow will feature more than 5 different armies with several troopers and units that comprise them.

The first product to hit stores will be the rulebook and fluff book, which will arrive alongside a Starter’s Battlepack for two players. This product includes 7 miniatures from each army, the rules, scenery, and everything you need to play the initial missions.

Additionally, we couldn’t resist including a bit of that role-playing spirit that already surrounded the dungeon crawler, so this wargame also has its narrative campaign.

Following the release of this Battle Box, we’ll be launching products monthly so everyone can choose their favorite nation and shape their army list.

What do the dungeon crawler and the wargame have to do with each other?

Let’s start with the obvious: both games share a universe.

The story told in Warcrow Adventures (the dungeon crawler) is an independent story, but it takes place years before the wargame’s story. Nevertheless, the ending of the dungeon crawler does the job of explaining some historical events that affect the wargame through its narrative. One could said that the dungeon crawler is a sort of optional prologue to the wargame.

Furthermore, the miniatures from the dungeon crawler and the wargame are of the same scale. As promised to those who participated in the Kickstarter, the dungeon crawler’s miniatures will be compatible with the wargame (except for the giant miniatures of some enemies like the Dragon or the giant Mórnmab). For this, you’ll need their trooper profiles, which we’ll release gradually so you can include them in your skirmishes.

When can I get them?

The wargame’s preorder will run from July 15th to August 4th. During this time, you’ll be able to purchase an exclusive bundle that includes the book, the Starter’s Battlepack, and a mysterious miniature with a very special profile.
The dungeon crawler doesn’t have a store release date yet, but we hope to announce it soon!
