Marvel returning to tabletops with new game in 2023

Tabletop gamers are about to get the chance to dive back into Marvel’s universe, with the Marvel Multiverse RPG, landing next summer.

Do you need multi-tables?

Comics and tabletop gaming, while probably not the first thing you think of to link the two mediums, have a pretty long history. Pen and paper RPG’s have been dabbling in the heroes of the printed page for literally decades.

Now Marvel is making a return to the format, for the Marvel Multiverse RPG. Offered by way of a pair of rule books next summer, the game comes from the mind of New York Times best-selling author Matt Forbeck, and will see players taking on the personas of the publisher’s biggest heroes.

First, RPG players will be able to take on the roles of Marvel’s most famous Super Heroes in ‘MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME: CORE RULEBOOK,’ on sale June 2023. Fully updated and expanded from the PLAYTEST RULEBOOK, which is now available, the core rulebook features all the rules that both new and seasoned players alike will need — including quick character creation, bombastic combat, and scores of amazing powers — plus full profiles of dozens of Marvel’s greatest heroes and villains. All that’s needed is the book, three standard six-sided dice, and friends! 

The rule book will be followed by a brand-new adventure book on sale July 2023, ‘MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME: THE CATACLYSM OF KANG.’ This book includes new character profiles and features a series of six interlocked adventures. Fans can play through with a new team or character each time or form a campaign that takes players from street-level heroes to cosmic champions!
