Hello everyone!
We just wanted to give you some updates on the status of the revival of Heroes of the Pacific. We are planning on launching this campaign on the first week of March 2026.
TARGET LAUNCH DATE: Early March 2026.
As you will know, especially if you are following this from the Kickstarter page, Word Forge Games and the design team, Clem, Yann and Jules, are working to make something happen for all of us with a zero budget. It is important to remember that we are doing this with none of the money that was pledged during that campaign and we recognised that a lot of people lost a lot of money.
What will be included
We are in a lucky place that all the assets had been created before the owner of the previous company declare bankruptcy (or can or have been created after).
This means most of the work has been done. Now it’s just a case of printing.
BUT: We cannot make what was promised, we just don’t have the budget. We will make a BIG BOX Set which will include:
-
aAl the we can that was offered in the KS campaign in a specially designed ‘core box’. All the components in this box will be language independent.
-
Two language packs (French and English) which will include all language dependent aspects. You will be able to add the contents of your pack to the ‘Core Box’.
In the Backerkit campaign, there will be just one pledge level, which will include the Core Box and your choice of Language Pack. These will be offered at a pledge level of £100 AND will include a new solo play, specific to Heroes of the Pacific.
What won’t be included
At launch we will not be including certain things that were included in the initial KS. This is predominately the storage system. BUT that is because we will include a storage method in the box.
BUT wait, I’ve already pledged A LOT, I’m not prepared to pledge again!
We understand that thought process.
For former backers the plan is:
-
If you pledged at the BANZAI!! level on the KS you can pledge here for £1 + postage. You will then get the Word Forge Games’ Big Box set of Heroes of the Pacific.
-
If you pledged at the SEMPER FI level on the KS you can pledge here for £16 + postage. You will then get the Word Forge Games’ Big Box set of Heroes of the Pacific.
-
If you pledged at the GUNG HO level on the KS you can pledge here for £65 + postage. You will then get the Word Forge Games’ Big Box set of Heroes of the Pacific.
Please be aware, we are not taking this product to retail.
What else?
Well that really depends on how well the campaign goes.
We will be offering other WFG products here too. So, if you’ve missed out on D-Day Dice Pacific or SAS Rogue Regiment, for example, this will be your chance to add those to your boardgame collection.
More as we get closer to March
