Enter the Black Boar Inn and Meet Your Fate in New Gameplay Video from The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes

admin — Fri, 29 May 2020 23:09:13 +0000

The local tavern is more than a place to grab an ale and nurse your wounds — it’s where all great fantasy adventures get their start. In The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes, the upcoming action-RPG, great stories start in The Black Boar, an inn famed throughout the mystical lands of Aventuria. The Black Boar Inn is the adventurer’s “hub” in the game: a place to find helpful hirelings, lock away precious goods, secure new quests, and much more — all of which are showcased in a new video, released today by publisher Wild River Games. Based on The Dark Eye tabletop pen and paper role-playing system, Book of Heroes brings a modern tabletop experience to the digital world, allowing players to delve into dungeons, complete quests, and battle ancient evils, either alone or cooperatively, both online and in couch cooperative modes!

Book of Heroes is based on the massively popular tabletop RPG The Dark Eye, which is one of the most beloved pen-and-paper RPGs in Germany — right up there with Dungeons & Dragons! The game has you rolling up a character, creating their backstory, and heading off in search of action and adventure in the mystical lands of Aventuria — alone or with up to four friends. Will you find fame and fortune, or foolhardy folly? The choice is yours!

The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes will be available on Steam on June 9, 2020, for $29.99 USD.

About BIG Festival and BIG Digital

Since 2012, the BIG Festival — which received over 20,000 visitors last year — has become the most important B2B gaming event in Latin America, where hundreds of innovative studios connect with global publishers and investors. BIG estimates that last year’s event generated $65 million (USD) in business, with more than 4,000 meetings between 630 industry professionals from 24 countries during the festival period.

BIG Festival is one of the agents responsible for showcasing Brazil as a game producing country. Before its emergence as a development locale in 2012, the country was seen by many as only a large consumer market for games.

Over the past eight years, the quality of Brazilian companies has increasingly surprised and delighted international players who, at each edition of BIG, come away impressed with the quality of what they find in Brazilian lands. This year, the digital edition of the event will allow studios from all states of Brazil to participate.

The Games Industry and Brazil

Brazil is now the 13th largest video game market in the world and second only to Mexico in Latin America. The $1.6 billion (USD) Brazilian games industry has nearly doubled in size since 2014, and the number of local gamers reached 75.7 million as of 2018, making Brazil the fourth-largest consumer market in the world. Half of both men and women in Brazil play mobile games, while roughly 40% of men and women play PC games, according to Newzoo. Purchase intent is healthy as well, as 83% of gamers in the region have made an in-game purchase within the past six months.
