What do you think will be the next big expansion? Will be at GenCon this year?
New Big Expansion
They might reveal it at GenCon, but I highly doubt it will be at GenCon.
Well, the final mythos pack for Carcosa was released 22nd March, and the Forgotten Age Deluxe expansion was announced 31st January, less than two months prior to that. So I would assume we wouldn’t hear anything about the next cycle deluxe until all the Forgotten Age mythos packs are announced, so probably about September time. However, with Return to Night of the Zealot and Labyrinths of Lunacy incoming, I don’t think we necessarily need any more news for a bit, we’re very well served currently!
Mind you, all this is caveated with the fact that the Arkham team do like to subvert expectations and surprise us. So who knows! But I certainly wouldn’t *expect* something much earlier than that.
Huh. Well Labyrinths of Lunacy is "Shipping Now" with a "US release date: 6/7/2018". Those are about the only updates on the Upcoming page I ever actually believe.
2 Asides:
Labyrinths of Lunacy is perfectly named, as it seems to have created that in our community.![]()
I believe that the end of the school year/the beginning of summer is when we should expect GenCon/Arkham Nights' scenarios to be typically released. That said, they have a special idea on how The Eternal Slumber (GenCon) & The Night’s Usurper (Arkham Nights) scenarios will be made available. https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/5/4/the-eternal-slumber/
QuoteThe scenario [The Eternal Slumber] will also be made available and sent out to participating retail stores in Invocation Kits this fall, before Arkham Nights 2018.
...
At this year’s Arkham Nights event, we’ll be unveiling a second unique scenario titled The Night’s Usurper.
...
If you can’t make it to Gen Con or Arkham Nights this year, worry not. We'll be releasing both The Eternal Slumber and The Night’s Usurper in a separate retail package, titled Guardians of the Abyss. This 78-card pack will provide everything you need to run both of these scenarios in either standalone or campaign mode, allowing you to experience the same events that took place at Gen Con and Arkham Nights in the comfort of your own home, with the consequences of your actions in The Eternal Slumber carrying over into The Night’s Usurper.
I expect the Guardians of the Abyss to be released around this time next year.
Now back to the OP. I wonder if we won't see Return to Night of the Zealot released at GenCon. It was last updated on 5/16/2018, and is now classified as "On The Boat."
From what I have heard, RttNotZ is probably releasing before GenCon. The only 'early' release for Ah:LCG at GenCon may be some early Forgotten Age Mythos packs.
if FFG does an Invocation promotion for 2018, that would be an excellent time to release Guardians of the Abyss. I still believe not having Labyrinth of Lunacy available for the last Invocation was a blunder.
Got to be travelling to Egypt soon I reckon. I wonder when the big C will be showing up though. They are spoilt for choice on where to go with this game really and its probably pointless guessing.
