Back in 2022, it was announced that Uncharted writer and creative director Amy Hennig is working on a Marvel game starring both Black Panther and Captain America. Unlike most superhero titles these days, Hennig's game stood out from the rest by being set during World War 2, and its setting was shown off during a Disney showcase that same year.
RuneScape's Tabletop Games Era is Here, As Tabletop Roleplaying Game and Shadow of Elvarg Board Game Launch

RuneScape’s venture into the tabletop gaming era is here, as RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of Elvarg, the new board game, and RuneScape Kingdoms: The Roleplaying Game, have both launched.
The games were first announced back in 2022 via a partnership between Jagex and UK-based Steamforged Games. The board game wasultimately funded and completed by way of a Kickstarter campaign that offered backers opportunity to have input in several of the gameplay elements and stretch goals. The Kickstarter campaign attracted more than 6,600 backers.
Today, both games have launched and are available through the official RuneScape merchandise store, Steamforged Games’ own store, Amazon, and independent retailers all over. If you've ever wondered just how your MMORPG adventures in Gielinor would translate to the tabletop environment? Well, here’s your chance to find out.
The team promises that both should feel familiar to RuneScape fans but also accessible to those new to the franchise. RuneScape Kingdoms: The Roleplaying Game uses its own custom system That uses a 3d6 dice mechanic and offers game masters of various levels to run games that feel rich and true to RuneScape but also ways to be welcoming even to newbies. Expect the core to feel as you would expect, with faithful and recognizable classic quests, familiar and new characters, and of course, Gielinor.
RuneScape Kingdoms: The Shadow of Elvarg is a board game, so there’s room there to work with others (though the game can even be played solo) in cooperative campaigns. The team drew inspiration from some of the classic quests from runescape, in addition to more new and familiar characters, and a bunch of side quests, bosses, and a number of elements that should feel right at home for the vets. you can even earn yourself capes.
Both of these games are part of Jagex seeing growth by way of expansion of the RuneScape IP and into some more licensed works. In addition to these games, expect more novels, and there’s even a cookbook out.

RuneScape creator says his new game is "not a traditional MMO where you play, get to the endgame, and that's where the game actually starts"
Brighter Shores, the upcoming MMO from original RuneScape creator and Jagex founder Andrew Gower, loosely channels RuneScape in its focus on relaxing grinds, a mix of idle gameplay, and branching professions. In an interview with GamesRadar+, Gower touched on another similarity with Old School RuneScape especially: "It is more about the journey than it is about the endgame."

If Masters of the Air had an official board game, this would be it
Masters of the Air tells the story of the Eighth Air Force’s 100th Bomb Group, also known as the Bloody Hundredth, which used its fleet of B-17 heavy bombers to cut a swathe of destruction from the English Channel to Berlin during World War II. The nine-part Apple TV Plus miniseries, which airs its final episode Friday, is basically everything that baby Charlie — his nose pressed against the pages of obscure history books all throughout middle school — could’ve ever hoped for. But, now that it’s over, I think I’ve found a way to extend the experience just a little further thanks to B-17 Flying Fortress Leader, an excellent solitaire board game from Dan Verssen Games.
