Esteemed members of the Fraternity,
Miladies,
If you haven't already heard the news, there was a big announcement at the recent PAX East convention regarding our beloved setting. Not one, but two new Ravenloft releases are coming soon, this time in the genre of console gaming! As reports from the Wizards of the Coast panel discussion inform us, it seems that while Iron & Blood: Warriors of Ravenloft was a critical failure, it was actually a huge commercial success, and Hasbro has asked Wizards of the Coast to repeat history. This time, the people at Wizards assure us that they've worked hard to please the fans as well, and of course, we at the Fraternity hope they have succeeded.
Both games embrace not only the Ravenloft brand, but are tied to successful video game franchises as well. The first, available exclusively on the Nintendo Wii U system:
We wish we could say more about these exciting new products, but some members of the Fraternity of Shadows have been lucky enough to be asked to be playtesters for these games, and we are sworn to secrecy. (We will just give these small tidbits as a preview: 1) In the Lego game, Justin Beiber is surprisingly good as the voice of Jander Sunstar, though a bit repetitive. He should have been given more different lines. 2) Don't assume that it's easy to dance like Soth, especially when Inza runs across the screen as a distraction.)
Feel free to discuss and speculate about these games, but if any of you reading this likewise have more information than we've been allowed to release here, please keep those secrets to yourselves and don't spoil our chance to get further inside scoops like this one!
Sincerely,
Ron Laufer
For everybody at the Souragne Fraternity of Shadows
