We interrupt the Kickstarter 20 for something dear to Video:
Hillside, New Jersey – February 11, 2013
– WizKids Games, a subsidiary of NECA, announced today plans to release
an all-new fantasy miniatures product based upon the popular and
long-lived world of MAGE KNIGHT. The first game to utilize the extremely
versatile and innovative Combat Dial System game platform, MAGE KNIGHT
boasts over a dozen releases, including an award-winning board game
based on the property.
“MAGE
KNIGHT is what started it all and we’re happy to return to the world
WizKids Games created,” said Justin Ziran, president of WizKids Games.
“MAGE KNIGHT is a beloved franchise, by both the fans and all of us here
in the office. We’re committed to offering something that is compelling
and respects MAGE KNIGHT’s long history.”
Planned
for release in fall 2013, MAGE KNIGHT: RESURRECTION will be a full
fantasy miniatures line utilizing the Combat Dial System game platform
it pioneered. There will be 25 miniatures in the line, with content
pulled from all corners of the MAGE KNIGHT universe. Each figure will
incorporate SwitchClix technology, and include two dials one designed
for the MAGE KNIGHT 2.0 rules, and a second HeroClix P.A.C.-compatible
dial. MAGE KNIGHT: RESURRECTION will be offered in both full starter
sets and collectible booster packs, two formats familiar to the
collectible industry and fans of the collectible franchise.
