During the Game Awards ceremony, independent studio Tactical Adventures unveiled Solasta II, the ambitious sequel to their much-loved board game-inspired RPG. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, Solasta II ‘s early access launch is scheduled for PC in 2025, with a free playable demo announced for early next year. The Tactical Adventures team looks forward to once again working with the community to shape Solasta II into the ultimate TTRPG experience.
Several decades after the events of Solasta: Crown of the Magister (2021), Solasta II transports players to the high fantasy continent of Neokos – a breathtakingly beautiful land on the brink of ruin, at the hands of Shadwyn, an all-powerful being animated by the voice of Amelia Tyler (Baldur’s Gate 3, Hades II).
As an endless wave of corruption spreads across the continent, a group of valiant adventurers decide to take up the challenge. Whether traversing majestic landscapes, confronting political factions vying for power or battling fearsome enemies, players will have to make strategic decisions to end age-old conflicts before they engulf the land in bloodshed.
Mathieu Girard, Creative Director, comments: “Our 35-strong team combines solid skills with a passion for creating immersive, innovative gaming experiences. With our first game, we started a success story on Kickstarter. Based on the SRD 5.1 rule set, we created a tactical RPG that won over 1.5 million players. Now, with Solasta II, we’re going one step further, pushing back past boundaries and bringing a new approach to tactical depth, fun and accessibility. Players will explore Neokos, a new continent brimming with magic, gigantic landscapes and unprecedented lore, as they face the growing strength of Shadwyn, a charismatic villain driven by a relentless desire to reclaim her lost power.
This project is fueled by ambition, respect for our players, and a shared belief in the strength of what we’re building together. We can’t wait to share Solasta II with them, and to hear their first feedback!
Players will roll the dice with the D20 system, create their game and take part in a quest filled with strategy, magic and intrigue. With Solasta II, Tactical Adventures aims to offer a totally immersive experience, with depth in tactical combat and many promising features.
Key features include:
- Complete group customization and management – Players will be able to create and develop their own party of 4 adventurers, all fully voiced and fully customizable with unique skills and abilities.
- 1-4 player online co-op – Players can team up with other players online to strategize and share tactical victories.
- Turn-based tactical combat – Master tactical combat, using the full depth of the D&D 5E ruleset for immersive strategic battles.
- Unreal Engine 5 – Experience high-level visual rendering and immersive environments.
- Optimized for console controllers – Designed for fluid gameplay with console controllers, delivering an experience comparable to that of keyboard/mouse gaming.
