Coriolis: The Great Dark will be launched on Kickstarter March 19.

Visit the Kickstarter pre-launch page and sign up to be notified the moment the campaign goes live! All backers who pledge levels with physical rewards within the first 24 hours will receive a bonus item soon to be revealed. If successfully funded, all backers will get the PDF version of the game months ahead of the official release. Coriolis: The Great Dark is fully standalone game, but is also the spiritual sequel to our critically acclaimed Coriolis – The Third Horizon, Free League’s very first science fiction RPG. Coriolis – The Third Horizon was granted the Judges Spotlight Award in the ENNIE Awards 2017 and was one of the first international releases from Free League. ABOUT THE GAME Coriolis: The Great Dark launches you into a desolate part of space – The Lost Horizon. Here, a fledgling human civilization who fled war tries to stake out a new life in a harsh environment while expeditions are sent out into deep space to find resources for survival and valuable artifacts. As explorers in forgotten star systems, players will partake in expeditions on mighty Greatships and venture into old ruins after a long-lost civilization of God-like beings. Coriolis: The Great Dark is a game about Hope and enduring against all odds. The RPG will showcase the all-new setting as well as mechanics – with themes like exploration, sense-of-wonder, sci-fi action, and faction intrigue. The rules will include explorer generation, combat, exploration, and expeditions. A boxed campaign set entitled The Flowers of Algorab will also be part of the Kickstarter and delivered alongside the core game. YEAR ZERO ENGINE & THIRD PARTY LICENCE The rules of the game are based on our acclaimed Year Zero Engine, used in our award-winning games such as the ALIEN The Roleplaying Game, Blade Runner The Roleplaying Game, Tales From the Loop RPG, The Walking Dead Universe RPG, and the upcoming The Electric State RPG, but uniquely tailored for this new game. As part of the new release, we will also create a new free and open license for third party content for Coriolis: The Great Dark as well as Coriolis – The Third Horizon. Using this license, all you creators out there will have an irrevocable, worldwide, and royalty-free right to freely create, produce and sell content and expansions for both games and their settings. ABOUT THE GAME CREATORS Kosta Kostulas, Nils Karlén and Martin Grip, Free League co-founders, take lead in designing the game with a new version of the award-winning Year Zero Engine created by Tomas Härenstam. Original artwork comes from lead Blade Runner RPG, Alien RPG and Coriolis – The Third Horizon artist Martin Grip and graphic design by Christian Granath.
