So...Is there any news on the Imperial Assault Descent-style cooperative campaign app? Also, I feel like somebody makes a new thread about the app every few months or so, a mod should make a sticky in the campaign forum for all Campaign app-related news. I thought I heard a rumor somewhere that there might be a licensing issue because lawyers might try to say the campaign app is a videogame or digital media or w/e to try and crap on our dreams. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Just don't start a new thread every month then, problem solved.
In their In Flight Report 2017 in GenCon50 FFG told that the app is in playtesting, which they would not do if there were licensing issues. It means the app was quite far along in August.
I give 75% chance of the next IA news being OP update (map rotation), 20% being an app announcement, and 5% being something else, perhaps the next wave being revealed.

I'd say almost definitely a map update, followed by a figure pack wave, followed by either a new expansion and/or app update.
Huh, that was good timing

This was a rumor.
Those people were wrong.
rumor squashed
*darth maul's voice* finally
Now my only question is what does FFG usually mean by soon? Soon as in tomorrow soon? soon as in end of the month? Soon as in 2028?
Could start a new rumor. In a month. With a new thread.

hey it seems to work lol
I can't wait for this thing to be available
The time between descents app announcement and release was one month. That's all we really have to go on now. I do es peer to see another blister wave announced shortly after though to feed off of the hype train.
I'm so excited to see the app introduced! By the looks of it, the cooperative game on the app seems to be a wholly different campaign than in the standard core box/expansions. Does this mean that the app does not recreate specific campaign missions, meaning that it creates custom missions not contained within the campaign guides? If true, that's a relief because there are still two more campaigns that we want to try with Imperial Players! I have never played Descent/Road to Legend, so I'm not sure what exactly to expect.

yeah the app will be totally new, it's not replacing any content just giving us more. If there is ANYTHING recreated at all for the app, it will probably be something like a Forced Mission like Captured or something but probably that will be slightly different from what is in the regular campaign. At the very least anything recreated will be different because you'll only see up to the first door and the enemies will have abilities they didn't normally have.
I hope the will make the expansion available in the app to play. I would even be willing to pay for that.
Btw rumor has it it will be released December 4. But don’t shoot the messenger.
