Fantasy Flight Games will release Descent: Crusade of the Forgotten, the third Hero and Monster Collection for its popular Descent: Journeys in the Dark Second Edition board game, in August.
 
The new expansion will contain four heroes and three monster groups from the first edition of Descent, for a total of 13 plastic figures, updated with new artwork and models.  On the hero side, Tahlia, Tetherys, Astarra, and Andira Runehand are included.  The Overlord’s forces include four sorcerers, three medusa, and two golems.  MSRP is $34.95.
 
The box will also contain two quests, which can be played individually or added to a campaign.  "Crusade of the Forgotten" sees the heroes rescuing hapless apostates from the clutches of the Forgotten.  In "Shadowside Watch," players must find a way to break the limitless power of the cult’s head sorcerer.
 
This expansion will follow the July release of Descent: Manor of Ravens (see "'Descent: Manor of Ravens' Expansion").
