If you’re a fan ofDark Soulsand want to try experiencing FromSoftware’s brutal role-playing game in a whole new way, then Steamforged Games' newly announcedDark Souls: The Board Game - The Sunless City might be for you. It’s set to release on February 14, 2024, so that’s Valentine’s Day sorted.

Depending on how into your tabletop games you are, you might know thatDark Souls: The Board Gamefirst released in 2017. The dungeon-crawler was designed for one to four players and took them on an adventure to defeat tough foes from theDark Soulsseries. It received a number of expansions to add more bosses to the game such as the Gaping Dragon and Manus, Father of the Abyss.

There have also been a couple of core sets released over the years, which have provided players with everything they need to play without having to own the original base game.The Sunless Cityis also a core set but is particularly special since it “reimagines"Dark Souls: The Board Gamewith revamped rules based on feedback from players, as well as a new encounter system and campaign. It seems to be something of a version 2.0 for the challenging dark fantasy title.

The Sunless Cityis focused on the very firstDark Soulsvideo game and will feature boss fights with the Titanite Demon, as well as Ornstein and Smough. Like the video game, players will be tasked with learning enemy attack patterns and weaknesses in order to triumph.

UnlikeDark Souls: The Board Game,The Sunless Cityis designed with up to three players in mind. However, this can be expanded to four by combining the new core set with the original game. Fans of the original can also introduce older bosses toThe Sunless Citycampaign thanks to its backward-compatible rules.
