Asmodee and Dark Horse expand licensing partnership

Published on: 8th August 2023

The expansion will see Dark Horse produce limited edition premium statues, collectible figures and fine art prints based on The Five Rings, Arkham Horror and Twilight Imperium.

Asmodee Entertainment has announced the expansion of its partnership with Dark Horse Comics, which will now create quality licensed collectibles for three of Asmodee’s leading tabletop gaming properties. Using the beautiful artwork from the games, Dark Horse will produce limited edition premium statues, collectible figures and fine art prints that are sure to excite fans worldwide.

The first items are available to pre-order now, exclusively from darkhorsedirect.com in limited quantities while stocks last. These include a map of Rokugan and a statue of Togashi Yokuni from Legend of the Five Rings, as well as an art print from Fantasy Flight Games’ Arkham Horror. Twilight Imperium collectibles will be announced soon.

“We are delighted to be working with Dark Horse again on this new range of products, and now is the perfect time to bring these to the market,” said Ness Jack, Licensing manager at Asmodee Entertainment. “The statue of Togashi Yokuni is truly stunning, and with the recent announcements at Gen Con regarding new game products for Legend of the Five Rings, this is a must-have statement piece for fans old and new.”

Ness continued: “We have always had a good relationship with the team at Dark Horse Comics, and with us both now being part of the Embracer Group we can explore more synergies like this to support Embracer’s transmedia ambitions. Dark Horse is a market leader in the comics and collectibles field; we can’t say too much, but be sure to keep an eye out for further announcements in the coming months.”

“At Dark Horse, we are privileged to work with partners like Asmodee to expand and present their unique creations in different mediums,” said Randy Lahrman, Dark Horse VP of Product Development and Sales. “We’re thrilled to be teaming up again with Asmodee to create exciting new products that showcase the beloved worlds of Arkham Horror and Legend of the Five Rings – games that we love, too.”

Randy added: “Now that we are both part of Embracer Group, our companies are even better positioned to work together on innovative and exciting collaborations combining our respective areas of expertise, so stay tuned for more to come.”
