Modern dungeon-crawl staple Descent is getting its first official video-game adaptation, announced under the title Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent. Early impressions indicate the project shifts the toybox tactics of the board game toward a tabletop-RPG-inspired strategy RPG experience designed for players who prefer digital sessions.

  • Official adaptation: This marks the franchise's debut as a fully digital game, translating Descent's dungeon-crawling into a video format.
  • New title and tone: Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent suggests a focus on character-driven adventuring and narrative flavor more commonly found in TTRPGs.
  • Gameplay lean: Reports point to a strategy RPG approach rather than a straight board-to-digital port, aiming to capture tactical party play without the physical pieces.
  • Fan appeal: The move should attract players who like the design of Descent but want a less hands-on, more streamlined way to run campaigns and combats.
  • Details pending: Key information such as platforms, release date, and developer notes have yet to be revealed.
