Renegade Game Studios announces three new games and a new expansion

Renegade Game Studios just announced three new games, Circadians: First Light Second Edition, Circadians: Chaos Order, and Birdwatcher,  along with a new expansion for The Hunger, called The Hunger: High Stakes. You can read more about each release below:

Announcing Circadians: First Light Second Edtion, and Circadians: Chaos Order!

We were light years from our home, galaxies away, when we first discovered this ancient celestial body. A planet filled with intriguing intelligent lifeforms, not too unlike our own. Some built kingdoms below the surface of the green seas, while others controlled the desert-filled plains and cliffs.

Among them we found scientists, inventors, farmers, traders, and fighters. While our presence has been unsettling for some, we have had very few incidents with the locals. Still, we Circadians, Earth’s famed explorers, must do what we can to ensure peace. We must respect this world and its hosts. The heads of Moontide passed down orders from above. We are to open negotiations with the three clans, in hopes of gaining their favor, along with our own security while on the planet. We must also collect organic samples for the depository on Moontide.

This is new ground for all of us. But we must be brave and resourceful. The future of the Circadians depends on it.

Circadians: First Light Second Edition featured the same great gameplay with updated art, iconography and various components when compared to the original edition. Players will need to manage their crew (dice) as they visit various parts of the planet for trade, farming, construction and research. Players will need to negotiate with the locals, explore the planet, and upgrade their research bases. The Second Edition includes new Leader cards, plus the Allies expansion, and two gameplay variants.

Join the Battle!

Circadians: Chaos Order is a new game set in the same vibrant world as Circadians: First Light. Chaos order is a competitive, confrontational area control game with highly asymmetric Factions. Each Faction has unique Leaders and Attributes, Buildings, and their own personal win condition. This is in addition to the global win condition of controlling all remaining Relics on the Map. Over the course of up to 6 Rounds, players will be researching, constructing Buildings, and harvesting resources. They will also be recruiting and moving Units, all in an effort to capture the ancient Relics, control Regions vital to their strategy, and gain enough Fame to be crowned the winner of Chaos Order.

Features:

6 asymmetric Factions, each with their own Leaders, Attributes and win conditions.
Multifaceted combat system that provides players with agency
Strategic Euro-mechanisms at its core with a tight, interactive resource management system.
Replayability due to the variable setup, 6 unique factions, and a high level of interaction between players.
The function-first insert and 6 Faction Tuck Boxes make for an easy setup and teardown.

Both games are expected to release in Q3!
