The Dragon Prince is getting a board game adaptation. IGN revealed the board game, titled Battlecharged, earlier today alongside a trailer. The game will be available for pre-order sometime in June before it arrives this Fall. However, the trailer lists no specific dates.
The Dragon Prince: Battlecharged Announced
Brotherwise Games is developing the board game. The company previously released Boss Monster and Unearth. But it also has experience adapting fantasy properties such as Patrick Rothfuss’ The Name of the Wind and Brandon Sanderson’s The Stormlight Archive. The planned retail price of the board game is $39.95. And fans can sign up on Brotherwise’s website to be alerted when pre-orders go live.
As the trailer shows, Battlecharged will use miniature figurines as well as ability cards. It will also feature six unique battle maps. Additionally, future expansions will add new characters. Callum, Ezran, Rayla, Amaya, Janai, Viren, Claudia, and Soren are the characters that will appear in the base game.
Aaron Ehasz and Justin Richmond, co-creators of The Dragon Prince for Netflix, issued the following statement:
We love how the characters of The Dragon Prince really come through in Battlecharged. Rayla darts in and out of combat, Callum strings together spells, and Ezran inspires his team and calls on animal companions. We think players are going to have a great time mastering each character, trying different team-ups, and discovering combos.”
The Dragon Prince has become one of Netflix’s most popular animated shows. Although a high fantasy series, it has a few things in common with Avatar: The Last Airbender. There’s the focus on elemental powers as well as Jack De Sena, who voices both Callum and Sokka from Avatar. Aaron Ehasz, co-creator of the show, was also a lead writer on Avatar. First premiering in 2018, Netflix renewed The Dragon Prince through season seven during last year’s Comic-Con@Home. During the same panel, a tabletop RPG was also announced.
