New Games are Now in Development for the Five Parsecs Line of Products<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>London, United Kingdom (June 14, 2023) <\/strong>\u2014 Today, tabletop game publisher and developer Modiphius Entertainment<\/a> is announcing\u00a0the acquisition of\u00a0the Five Parsecs From Home<\/em> and Five Leagues From The Borderlands<\/em>\u00a0game IPs by Ivan Sorensen\u2019s Nordic Weasel Games.\u00a0The deal also covers the original Five Core system, Weasel Tech, and Five Men From Normandy<\/em> games.<\/p>\n

Ivan Sorensen will be retained as lead writer, and Modiphius will be supporting extensive new product development for the lines, including Five Parsecs: Tactics<\/em> and Five Parsecs: Planetfall\u00a0<\/em>(working title), two new standalone games in the same universe which let you take your Five Parsecs From Home<\/em> crew on even bigger adventures!<\/p>\n

A new leader emerges in the Unity government, forged in the fires of the Lanikea Expedition. With them comes a renewed urgency in Unity forces clamping down on the fringe, perhaps to focus on the various invasions along the border systems from the Soulless or the Swarm, or perhaps for something else, no one knows. There are whispers of a strange alien-engineered star system found in the Greater Deep, expeditions are being recruited, and the Precursors are worried\u2026<\/em><\/div>\n

\n\u201cSince the retail edition of Five Parsecs From Home<\/em> launched, we\u2019ve been working together on a lot of exciting projects,\u201d commented Modiphius CCO and co-founder Chris Birch. \u201cI\u2019m a huge fan of solo adventure wargames, so being able to get behind Ivan\u2019s vision for the games and help expand it beyond the horizon is going to be a lot of fun!\u201d
\n\u00a0 <\/strong>
\n\u201cThe response to the Modiphius editions has been overwhelming. I think the combination of great art and layout has really been a boon to the game system, and I am super excited to continue creating new exciting adventures,”\u00a0said Ivan Sorensen.
\n\u00a0 <\/strong>
\nIvan has been diving deep into new ways to expand the Five Parsecs From Home experience, and both Tactics<\/em> and Planetfall<\/em>\u00a0promise to give players a lot of new ways to play. Ivan described what players can expect.
\n\u00a0 <\/strong>
\n\u201cFirst, we have Five Parsecs: Tactics<\/em>. This will let you take your game one step above and command squads of troops, grav tanks, and much more on the battlefields of Unified Space and beyond. Fully compatible with your Five Parsecs From Home<\/em> characters, Tactics<\/em> features everything you want: scenario creation, points values, solo mechanics so you can play on your own, campaign rules that let you play both map-oriented and narrative campaigns (and both at the same time if you prefer), and much more. The book is also jam-packed with advice and tools to create your own battle scenarios.
\n\u00a0 <\/strong>
\n\u201cNext will be Five Parsecs: Planetfall<\/em>. This game will see you setting out to colonise a new world and exploring it to discover its secrets. Along the way, you will have to fight off hostile intruders, deal with dangerous wildlife, send out scouts and scientists, develop new technologies, and build your home base. As always, this will all be compatible with your existing characters and will be the next step in an expansive universe spanning multiple game systems.\u201d

More expansions for Five Parsecs From Home<\/em>\u00a0are on the way, including Expansion 3 and Bughunt<\/em>, as well as a retail print anthology of the four expansions. Additionally, Ivan and Modiphius are planning further expansions for Five Leagues From the Borderlands<\/em>, which has been a huge hit in retail stores.<\/div>\n

The team is working on plans for other Five Core<\/em> games, including a retail edition of Five Men From Normandy<\/em>. Fans can expect a similar treatment with artwork and a beautiful layout to open up adventures on the frontlines of WW2 and beyond.
