Rebellion, one of Europe’s largest independent creative studios, is proud to announce its brand new board game division, Rebellion Unplugged.

The first game from the new offshoot will be Sniper Elite the Board Game, based on the studio’s bestselling tactical shooter series.

Headed up by Duncan Molloy, previously the Founder and Creative Lead of the board game line at Osprey Games, Rebellion Unplugged will release new physical games and collectables based on the company’s diverse and extensive collection of properties. Several games are already in the works.

Rebellion operates across games, TV, books, comics and film. Among many others, its library of IPs includes the beloved sci-fi universes of 2000 AD, the upcoming spy-fi lair-builder Evil Genius 2, and the multi-million selling Zombie Army series – the next instalment of which, Zombie Army 4: Dead War, comes to PS4, Xbox One and PC on February 4th.

An early version of Sniper Elite the Board Game will be playable at PAX Unplugged this December. More details will be unveiled before it launches on Kickstarter early next year, and more games are due to be unveiled throughout 2020.

"We’re absolutely delighted to be launching Rebellion Unplugged,” said Rebellion CEO and founder Jason Kingsley OBE. “My brother Chris and I have been making video games for more than 25 years, and our love of the medium has its roots in our childhood love of board games. We’ve got so many great games and comic book heroes and universes to draw from too, so it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

This is weird. Rebellion owns the 2000 AD properties, which Osprey Games is currently making games with (most recently Judge Dredd: Helter Skelter using the Wildlands engine). I've also never heard of Duncan Molloy, and google searches return a secondary character from Con Air.

That being said, I'm a fan of the Sniper Elite games. Not sure I'm super eager to wait for a kickstarter, so I can wait another 3 years for a release, but that's the industry now, I guess. They just finally released the board game for Agents of Mayhem - long after anybody cared the video game existed.

That's interesting. I recently played Sniper Elite 4; it had some pretty rough edges (still haven't been able to unlock the Enfield dammit!) but overall I enjoyed it, it was a great change of pace from all the super-frantic games I've been playing for a while (coughOverwatchcoughBorderlandscough). I wonder how they would translate it to a boardgame? And most importantly: will it include the DeLisle carbine?
