Asmodee Digital’s video game adaptation of the hugely popular Lovecraft-inspired Arkham Horror board game series will be coming to Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC on 23rd March.
Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace, to give the adaptation it’s official name, is a narrative-driven tactical RPG that sets players loose in the titular town of Arkham, circa 1926 – more specifically, in a spooky old mansion, where the murder of an astronomy professor has occurred.
What follows is a riff on the board game series’ familiar Lovecraft-tinged exploratory action, requiring players to first assemble a crack team of investigators from 12 uniquely skilled characters – drawn from all across the Arkham Horror universe.
