Modiphius announces two upcoming board games for DOOM

Get ready to rip and tear once again with two upcoming board games by Modiphius Entertainment. DOOM | Arena Board Game and Doom: The Dark Ages | Arena Board Game are coming to Kickstarter later this year:

Publisher of tabletop RPGs, war games, and board games, Modiphius Entertainment, has today announced that it is developing board games for DOOM™.

Coming to Kickstarter later this year, Modiphius will offer backers two editions of the board game: DOOM | Arena Board Game, based on the original DOOM (1993) video game, and the DOOM: The Dark Ages | Arena Board Game, based on the latest critically acclaimed title in the franchise, DOOM: The Dark Ages. Both games will use the same ruleset, and the campaign will include a variety of expansions covering enemies found in both games, including an Atlan mech and the Mecha Dragon.

DOOM | Arena Board Game and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Arena Board Game will offer a quick-to-learn competitive game, where players face off as either the DOOM Slayer or the demonic hordes and rip and tear across a variety of battlefields. Featuring a host of devastating weapons and monstrous demons drawn directly from the seminal series, players will battle across three rounds with increasing stakes, decorating the hex-based arena with their opponent’s gibs!

Modiphius will be offering demos of early versions of the miniatures board games at this year’s Gen Con and QuakeCon. The final version of both board games will be available at a later date.
