Mantic Games Acquires River Horse in Strategic Partnership

ByDaniel Kling Lorentsen

Mantic Games has announced its acquisition of River Horse, a move that consolidates a longstanding collaboration between the two tabletop game developers. This partnership is set to enhance Mantic’s game portfolio by incorporating River Horse’s licensed games and universes.

As part of the acquisition, game designer Alessio Cavatore will join Mantic Games. Cavatore has previously collaborated with both companies on several projects, and his expertise in game design is expected to contribute significantly to future product developments.

The acquisition follows a history of cooperative ventures between Mantic Games and Cavatore, including titles like Kings of War, Warpath, Loka, Umbrella Academy, Worms, and the forthcoming Epic Warpath. This new arrangement promises to foster further innovation and the development of high-quality gaming experiences.

To celebrate this significant development, Mantic Games has also announced their first new project together—a special collection marking the 40th Anniversary of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth. This collection is scheduled for launch on Gamefound this summer and will feature new miniatures and game content that pay tribute to the movie’s rich storytelling and magical world.

Fans of Mantic Games and River Horse are encouraged to follow the campaign page for updates on this project and more news from the “Summer of Sci-Fi” series.
