![New Game Round-up: Card-Based Gears of War, Keyper Crabs, and Matt Leacock's To-Do List](https://cf.geekdo-images.com/fCzQzHYb-1sRVq2M3O46SQ__medium/img/8I62UywmKDtQOouaYOKr-wvQgNM=/fit-in/500x500/filters:no_upscale():strip_icc()/pic5189047.jpg)
Here's an overview of the game, which is due out in the second half of 2020:
Choose how to develop your force as you play through unique narrative scenarios, each with their own objective and terrain layout. Each win or loss will affect the contents of your deck in the next scenario, allowing success or failure to impact your experience of the game.
Will you side with the Coalition of Ordered Governments and send Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago into action, or will you command the Locust Horde and unleash the awesome power of the monstrous Brumak? Throw frag grenades at hordes of wretches? Or bait a corpser into attacking you before striking it when it's most vulnerable? The choice will be in your hands.
In late February 2020, Breese posted an image of a crab (at left) to celebrate the start of the game's graphics by Vicki Dalton, with the expansion now scheduled for a SPIEL '20 release.
Oh, wait — do you want to see more than just one crab? Here you go:
• In a quarterly report published in March 2020, designer Matt Leacock notes that "the third and final installment in the Pandemic Legacy series is coming later this year". (Too soon, Matt!) Aside from that, he adds, "look for one other soon-to-be-announced game — coming this summer".
What's more, Leacock notes that he's working on:
—The next game in the ERA series — which is coming together quite nicely if I do say so myself.
—A new, non-Pandemic, cooperative game that I'm working on with a first-time designer.
—A big box game that I've been developing for over two years with two established designers.
—And a few other unannounced projects in various stages of development.
