Developer Event Horizon partners with Asmodee Digital to publish Dark Envoy
Developer Event Horizon has partnered with Asmodee Digital to publish their upcoming new title, Dark Envoy. Asmodee Digital is a seasoned publisher that has previously released hit titles, such as Gloomhaven, Terraforming Mars, A Game of Thrones: The Board Game - Digital Edition, and most recently, the early access launch of Ember Knights.
We heard from Dark Envoy last April when Event Horizon released a story trailer for it and announced that they would also be bringing it to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on top of their initial plans to release it on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. They also pushed the title back to sometime in 2022 at that time, after previous multiple delays since its initial announcement back in 2019.
Although no firm release date has been revealed yet, Event Horizon and Asmodee Digital have said that Dark Envoy is still scheduled to release in 2022 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC (Steam, GOG).
