HeroQuest returns - officially this time. And probably as an accessory to the project without any license disputes. Avalon Hill has officially launched a website and is counting the days. On September 22nd there will be at least more information about the reboot.
HeroQuest is getting a reboot that has Hasbro announced and at the same time social media accounts and a website were set up. There is currently not much left to see there - a meter reading that shows the remaining days. Up to what? That is currently just as uncertain. New information could simply be presented or an announcement made on September 22nd - even a surprise release would theoretically be possible if the board game had already been produced. “The Quest is calling,” is what it says there.
Hasbro and HeroQuest: License dispute excluded
It was 1989 when HeroQuest was released by MB Spiele, a publisher that was already part of Hasbro at the time. HeroQuest also emerged from a cooperation between MB and Games Workshop. Avalon Hill is now responsible for the reboot of HeroQuest, and thus Hasbro directly. Avalon Hill was once an American provider of strategic board games (including Diplomacy or Civilization), but was disbanded in 1998. The publishing house no longer exists in its former form, Hasbro however, keeps the company name as a trademark.
It is now official that HeroQuest will get a reboot. What will happen on September 22nd is uncertain. Theoretically, publication would even be possible, but this cannot be assumed without a marketing machine rolling in. It is also not known whether the new HeroQuest will be like the old one or whether there will be adjustments. Basically, HeroQuest is a classic dungeon crawler, which in its former form could not keep up with modern genre representatives.
Presumably Hasbro will have to adapt the fantasy board game visually and playfully, even adapt it, in order to reach the target group of such games - and at the same time motivate new board game fans to buy. The nostalgia factor alone would probably not be enough for commercial success. The only thing that is certain is that the HeroQuest reboot will actually be a board game, not a revision of the license into a different concept. This emerges from the sparse information that can be found on the official Twitter account: According to this, HeroQuest will be an adventure board game in a magical world.
+++ Update, September 22nd +++: Hasbro finances the new edition of HeroQuest via crowdfunding. Detailed information about this Here.
