It’s A Horror Sequel! Don’t Look Back Gets New Revised Edition
March 13, 2023 by brennon
Black Site Studios have a fun surprise for folks who like Don't Look Back, their awesome Horror skirmish game. A new revised and updated edition of this cooperative survival miniatures game is going to be coming up for pre-order soon!

Don't Look Back is pretty awesome in that it represents all that was awesome about those old Horror movies from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. You and your friends work together to try and solve a mystery, and more often than not see if you can survive being hunted down by a deadly killer!
The killer (think Ghostface, Jason or Michael Myers) is driven by an inbuilt game AI and so you and your friends are working against the game rather than against each other or one single "foe" controlling all the enemies. It's a really fun experience on the tabletop that can be played out on small boards packed with terrain and fun elements to interact with.

The new book will compile all of the previous expansion booklets and the core rules into a new hardback edition of the game. It features updated and revised rules that have been tweaked for clarity of play and for the first time, now includes a LOT more lore for the Horror background of this game and the town of Northwood where all the blood business happens!
There will be new miniatures coming out alongside the new book including some new core heroes (Mia and Keen) that join a burgeoning cast of characters.

They are much more detailed than previous releases although with plenty of the same charm that made the game exciting to dive into in the first place. You'll also find new rules for Companions and Vehicles in the book plus ways to clarify how the Killer works.

As well as some new foes for you to face, Don't Look Back isn't afraid of tackling the sequel with some returning foes who are on the hunt for those that survived last time! See if you can survive against the deadly Boxcar Willy as he swings his chainsaw around once again.

Terrain is also coming to the game with new kits being made available for folks to snap up. The Rangers Station seems like the perfect place to rush to in search of aid...

...only for you to find out that the phone lines have been cut and the local Ranger has already been taken by whatever horror lurks out in the woods! It sounds like things are going to be a lot of fun as we get a chance to dive back into this refined version of Don't Look Back. More unique miniatures games like this are needed!
If you're interested in finding out more, you can check out the latest video from Black Site where they discussed their plans.

Really love a copy of this… i just feel shipping costs are just killing games right now… we find out soon.
one of those games I would never play, but I would like to own as it looks super fun.
I’m glad they are making the rules clearer because for dome reason it confused me. It’s also hard to get hold of their products out of the US
Really looking forward to this! The first edition is a favorite of mine and this new book should add some needed clarity as well as new options. Highly recommended for horror fans.
According to their website, the new edition will not ‘replace’ the first one, but be 100% compatible, so that’s good news.
I also love their idea of presenting expansions as VHS tape cases, very 80s.
love the idea of this game but the shipping costs from US to AUS are insane.
Really looking forward to this ‘Don’t Look Back 2.0’ I had a chat a while back with the author Matthew Burns and he’s pretty stoked to be unleashing this new updated and clarified version. (I guess I kinda got a behind the scenes look a bit early) This game DLB (the original version rules), was the first game that I had gotten my lovely wife to play with me and she at the end of the game said, “We need to play this again. And buy all the expansions if and when they are released”! Which we have ever since!… Read more »
Their games look great however as others have said it’s getting hold of them in the UK
