Dwarf Kings Quest Is announced by Ronnie at Mantic Games
June 24, 2014 by stvitusdancern
Ronnie Renton, President and CEO of Mantic Games has done it again, he has spilled the beans on the upcoming game to be called Dwarf King Quest - The Return of the Necromancer. According to Ronnie this new game will be a complete game in it's self that is also a definitive version of the Dwarf King's Hold.
Also, according to Ronnie, they are looking to fill a niche between the lighter side and darker dungeon explorer games and to create a rich background story to immerse players into. It would also appear that the miniatures are going to come pre-assembled and have a base colour, so they will be ready to be played straight out of the box.
Ronnie goes on to say that the box will contain a second level underneath the base level (figuratively and actually) that will let the players delve even deeper into the game and find further adventures to combat Mortibris and his minions.
Knowing Ronnie and Mantic Games, I see this one being pretty exciting and a great value for all gamers such as their Deadzone has been. Speaking of Deadzone, Ronnie let it known that we will be getting ships for the game! He has further confirmed what we reported to you all from this years' Adepticon, that Warpath is getting a huge reboot. You can read Ronnie's entire blog about the release here.
This is going to be a very exciting year for Mantic Games and I cannot wait to see what else comes our way, what do you think?

This looks like it will be a great addition to the games collection. I’m pretty excited about it.
All aboard the hype train. Very excited about this game.
Elf, Wizard, Dwarf, Barbarian…..a Quest you say? 😀
You could almost call it a… Gauntlet?
I was going to Warhammer Quest or Hero Quest not a bloody video game. 🙂
Dwarf King Hold was fun but seems totally unbalanced to me, it was too damn easy to play dwarfs. Hope this one does not go this way
Hmmm, makes me think heroquest…
I really hope to see some dungeon terrain in the same fashion as the deadzone pieces come out with this one.
Return of the Necromancer is an obvious reference to Return of the Witch Lord, one of the expansions for HeroQuest. if it is going to be like that, I’m in!! I wasn’t very impressed with Dwarf King’s Hold so they will need to step up their game
Can you say Chaos Marauder 🙂
I really liked it before when Mantic produced stuff and we went straight ahead in buying them. Another KS for what seems to be an obvious copy of HeroQuest… I’d say that would be OK, except from the fact I’m getting tired seeing Mantic pumping crowdfunding projects one after the other. It’s supposed to be a large and established company after all these funded campaigns, what’s the idea behind all these KS? I mean, they already got a sack of $, what does it take for them to take a small risk and go produce it without us paying for… Read more »
I’m really looking forward to this. Each new game they have brought out has built on and improved on the last, and even the first were good, so while they still aren’t perfect (who is?) I am confident this should be good! I’m waiting for the Dreadball Xtreme kickstarter to deliver which also has models promised in “1-piece/pre-assembled” plastic – promised to be like Loka figures but more detailed. If that delivers what’s promised this should be really good. One of Mantic’s great strength is that if things aren’t quite as good as they had hoped they would be in… Read more »
