Hasbro has announced a new Risk Legacy game, which will come out next year. Last week, Hasbro announced Risk Shadow Forces, a new legacy-style board game set in a near future where the world is threatened by intense climate change and diseases. Players will take control of a faction as they battle for control of a new energy source. Each faction has its own abilities and specialities, with the yellow faction using modern technology like drone strikes and the white faction using toxic attacks to hit foes with random critical damage. Players will be able to switch factions throughout the game, as they control a single warlord with the ability to take command of whatever faction they feel will be best suited for specific skirmishes. The game will be published by Avalon Hill, a specialty board game studio owned by Hasbro that also publishes the original Risk board game as well as Betrayal Legacy.
