Board game fans (and Lovecraftian fans) will have something to look forward to next year, thanks to publisher Asmodee Digital and developer Luckyhammers. Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace, a digital game based on the Arkham Horror board game franchise, will launch in 2021 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
The game was originally announced as a PC-only title in April 2018 under the name Mansions of Madness: Mother’s Embrace, and was planned to release in the first quarter of 2019.
Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace is an investigation game mixed with turn-based combat, set in the haunted worlds of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos. Taking place in 1926, a professor of astronomy is found dead in her mansion and everything indicates that she has been the victim of murder. Choose from 12 investigators from the Arkham Horror games, each with a unique set of skills, and assemble your team to shed the light over her mysterious death.
As the investigators get closer to their goal, your squad will have to face curious science, living nightmares, and a sinister cult with plans to bring about the end of everything.
