Asmodee Digital’s video game adaptation of the hugely popular Lovecraft-inspired Mansion of Madness board game series has had something of a rejig, and will now launch on Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and PC under the banner of a different hugely popular Lovecraft-inspired board game series; say hello to Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace.
Mansions of Madness: Mother’s Embrace was originally announced back in 2018, with an anticipated release date of Q1 2019. Evidently, that did not come to pass, but it’ll now arrive – with its new name and with a new developer, Artefacts Studio, at the helm – next year.
Despite the name change, Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace still very much resembles the game that was announced back in 2018 on the surface, although, given the scant gameplay details revealed previously, it’s impossible to tell how much has changed under the hood.
