Mage Knight: The Resurrection

an old favorite comes back from limbo

Mage Knight was the first collectible Miniatures Game and the first to use the clix system created by Wizkids. Tabletop skirmishers felt the loss when Wizkids closed shop. By that time, Mage Knight went into stasis. Although people continued to play the game, its just different when you know the original creators are no longer around.

Well, it seems the dark ages are over because Wizkids/ NECA announced a relaunch for Mage Knight. Details are sketchy at the moment. What they did say was that the first release would be a boardgame. Then Mage Knight would branch out to other media like card games and perhaps an rpg.

I'm sure plenty of gamers the world over would welcome this development! It makes me hopeful that Wizkids would revive some of their other games. I'm particularly interested in the Fate of the Mechwarrior miniatures game. The milieu is one I find interesting and I always thought the clix version possessed its own merits. I hope more patience pays off.
