Risk fans rejoice! EA is bringing the classic board game, Risk, to Xbox Live Arcade this year and we are excited. That’s why we’re bringing you this early look at the game, via screenshots.
“For the past half-century, millions of RISK fans have been consumed with ruling the world, underscoring the board game’s enduring appeal,” said Chip Lange, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EA’s Hasbro Division. “We’re now going to bring that masterpiece experience to life and add other amazing layers of XBLA-style gameplay that will take conquests to a new level, including the ability to battle players from around the globe for the first time, truly giving new meaning to the phrase ‘world domination’.”
Risk:Factions is being developed by the same studio that worked on Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers, Stainless Games. Animations are being handled by Power House Animation. Let’s hope that while they bring “new and innovative gameplay” to the table, they include a classic Risk option for us purists!
