FFG Tease Big New Project, Discover: Lands Unknown
July 17, 2018 by brennon
Fantasy Flight Games look to be exploring an entirely new IP this August with the announcement of Discover: Lands Unknown. There's little to know about the game beyond this teaser image so far...
...but it does give us a few clues to work with. In the image that we saw from Facebook, you get to see more of the character who appears to be wearing modern-day gloves and equipment and staring out over landscapes which feature mountains, deserts, jungles and potentially cloudy climes.
It will be interesting to see where Fantasy Flight Games go with this but I would put my bet on a couple of things. The first is that I would imagine we're going to see Discover cover not just one product by many. I would think this will become another Sourcebook for Genesys which gives you role-playing opportunities on the exploration front.
I would also hazard that we're going to see maybe a board game or card game that fits into the world as well. If it's a board game I would reckon to FFG jumping on the Legacy train and producing something all about exploring the world (be it ours or a Fantasy one). If it's a card game I could see this being a cooperative affair about braving the elements as a team perhaps.
I could, of course, be wrong but I am excited to see what FFG do. I love the idea of exploration and adventure on the tabletop and hopefully, this gifts us something in that vein.
What do you think?

I might be interested when they bother to give some details. Teasers are a marketing scam and hardly ‘news’.
I’m not sure that’s entirely true. Teasers can be done well and this one is very interesting because it shows FFG looking towards what appears to be another new internally owned IP.
Also, if they end up doing a legacy game that could be very cool! Sometimes it is nice to speculate 🙂
Agreed with @tankcommander ; this is like the recent Doctor Who ‘trailer’ – a big deal was made of it, but it actually showed nothing of substance so was a major letdown. The difference here is that we have no idea what this is about so there’s no hype to fail to meet.
I’m with @Brennon on this one. Don’t shoot the messenger here, as this is ‘news’ in both form and function. The title even hinted that the content was a teaser. Surely FFG will sneak peak at Gen Con and this type of marketing works before a big event in any realm. Curious to see what develops.
Is it the coveted “Dora the Explorer” IP? Very exciting ?
Yeh oldy world tomb raider.
Where is the other Image that they teased? I xca’t seem to find it on their facebook page?
It’s basically that image but showing more of the landscape – there’s nothing more really than what I described.
I would love a post apocalyptic/exploration styled version dungeon crawler/campaign/descent kind of game
