Below, you’ll find the Solasta II trailer, the complete announcement from Tactical Adventures, and the initial set of screenshots for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

At The Game Awards, independent studio Tactical Adventures revealed Solasta II, their highly anticipated sequel to their cherished tabletop-style RPG. Fueled by Unreal Engine 5, Solasta II is slated for Early Access on PC in 2025, with a free demo scheduled for release at the start of next year. Tactical Adventures are eager to collaborate with the community once more as they strive to craft Solasta II into the definitive tabletop role-playing game experience.

Years following the occurrences of Solasta: Crown of the Magister (2021), we find ourselves in Solasta II, a journey that takes us to Neokos – a captivating high-fantasy world on the brink of devastation due to Shadwyn, an omnipotent entity summoned by Amelia Tyler (Baldur’s Gate 3, Hades II). As his relentless wave of corruption sweeps across the land, a group of heroic adventurers steps up to confront the challenge. In this adventure, players will traverse impressive landscapes and deal with competing factions battling for power while combating formidable enemies. The fate of Neokos lies in the hands of the player, as they must choose wisely to resolve an age-old conflict before it triggers a war that brings chaos and strife upon the land.

Mathieu Girard, the Creative Director, expressed that their team of 35 individuals, who possess deep knowledge and a burning enthusiasm for designing captivating and thought-provoking gaming environments, are pooling their skills together. With their debut game, they emerged as a Kickstarter success, expanding upon the SRD 5.1 rulebook to create a tactical RPG that has captivated more than 1.5 million players. As they move forward with Solasta II, they aim to elevate the experience even more by introducing innovative concepts to deepen the tactical aspects while maintaining fun and accessibility. Players will embark on an exciting journey through Neokos, a vast continent teeming with magic, breathtaking landscapes, and unexplored lore, as they confront the rising power of Shadwyn, a captivating antagonist fueled by an unyielding ambition to regain her lost authority.

Our initiative thrives on enthusiasm, valuing every participant, and a collective faith in the potential of our joint endeavor. We eagerly anticipate the day when everyone gets to experience it and share their thoughts with us!

In Solasta II: Tactical Adventures, I’ll be the one rolling the 20-sided die, building my crew, and diving headfirst into an epic journey brimming with strategy, sorcery, and mystery.
