With the new Doom Video Game coming out in May, will FFG's be making a new version of the old board game which was similar to Descent 1st Edition but based on the 2nd Edition rules? I wonder if anyone knows if its in the pipeline or if its even be thought of or have I missed a confirmation.

The reason FFG made Descent in the first place is because they lost the licensing rights to continue printing Doom. I don't remember exactly why iD pulled the plug on the relationship, but I'm thinking it's unlikely to be renewed. Not impossible, though, I suppose.

Thats a real shame. I and probably a lot of others would love to play it again in a new shiny edition.

Doom was such a great game, but I feel like Descent (1st edition) was far superior in every way.

Jonny, I agree with you. I liked the game alot and how they handeled monster placement and difficulty levels. Despite Descent streaming the macanics, this will always remain in my collection.

This was the second game I had ever painted with the first being Heroquest, the 3rd was Descent 1st ed.
