Board Game Publisher: Wise Wizard Games
U.S. publisher White Wizard Games has announced a quartet of new games — two based on previous releases, two brand new — for release at some point down the road, as well as a re-branding of the company.

In a press release, WWG wrote:
Quote:
White Wizard Games LLC, the makers of Star Realms, announced today that they have changed the company name to Wise Wizard Games. As the company continues to expand, they want to have a name that best represents their vision and their community. The company has raised over $4.5M on Kickstarter, the Star Realms digital app has been downloaded over 1M times, and WWG had over 20% growth in revenues in 2020...

Coinciding with this renaming, Wise Wizard Games launched an updated website and social media channels. Any new reprints going forward will use the updated company name. The short abbreviation for the company name (WWG), all SKU numbers, and the WWG hat logo remain unchanged to make the transition as easy as possible for their channel partners...

"Our original company name was a throwback to Gandalf, the iconic fantasy character. Based on feedback from the community and our future plans to broaden our product line, we decided it was time for a change," said Debbie Moynihan, COO of Wise Wizard Games.
As for forthcoming releases, WWG shared these details:

Riders of Chaos is an arena battle game designed by Richard Garfield. "Choose your skilled warrior, select your unpredictable beast, and play with crazy combos as you battle in the arena with stunning miniatures in an immersive play experience."

• In Robot Quest Arena, you build your own deck of cards to control "your adorable battle bot miniature", with the cards serving as the skills of your robot driver. "Acquire powerful new upgrades for your bot. Destroyed bots re-spawn each round, so you're never out of the action!"

Hero Realms: Dungeon of Thandar is akin to The Ruin of Thandar campaign deck for the deck-building game Hero Realms, with this set containing "everything you need to adventure through the Dungeon of Thandar as your party fights off evil bosses and minions, leveling up and gaining skills, treasure, and magical items as they go!"

Star Realms: Rise of the Empire takes place before the existing Star Realms game to tell the origin story of the Star Empire. "In this legacy-style game, players will battle each other for survival, and in the end will walk away with a fully playable Star Realms set that includes all-new factions!"
