Announcing The Lamplighters League

[HeyTiko]

​

We are thrilled to announce our brand new game — The Lamplighters League and the Tower at the End of the World! Harebrained Schemes, the creators of The Shadowrun Trilogy and BATTLETECH, bring you an all-new world set in an alternate 1930s, where a tyrannical cult called the Banished Court stands on the cusp of world domination. For millennia, all that stood between this sinister cabal and their plans was a band of heroic scholars known as the Lamplighters League.

Unfortunately, the best of the best are all gone, so now it's up to the best of the worst.

Recruit a team of misfits and scoundrels with unique abilities and unforgettable personalities, and chase the Banished Court to the ends of the earth in a mix of real-time infiltration, turn-based tactical combat, and a character-driven story of adventure and intrigue!

Meet the unlikely heroes of The Lamplighters League in an announcement trailer:

I’ve been a fan of Mitch and Team HBS for years now, enjoying their games and the communities of fellow gamers that inevitably grow up around their titles and efforts.

I can’t wait to preorder! : )

I'm looking forward to seeing what HBS has come up with and I hope that the line about it being playable on the Steam deck will mean a native Linux port rather than just use of proton.

 

[Trunting]

Certainly interesting

 

[Motasa]

Pleasant surprise. Looking forward to playing this game.

I second that! Lately, a lot of Paradox games outside of the ones developed by the studio itself (AoW: Planterfall/4, Empire of Sin, Surviving the Aftermath) broke the publisher's amazing trend of porting all of their titles to Linux, which was very disappointing.

 

[NecroNuke9]

10 to 11 characters at launch.

In the trailer I counted 14 people in the War Room.

Some of the characters NPCs?

 

[NecroNuke9]

Nicastro, Marteau, & Strum.

Is the Banished Court separated into 3 factions?

Nicastro, Marteau, & Strum.

Is the Banished Court separated into 3 factions?

I’ve searched for any reference to the above three names in the game, and couldn’t find a single one.

Maybe, just like we now have the names of 10 Lamplighters, Nicastro, Marceau and Strum are the names of Big Bads from the Banished Court?

 

[Anonim97]

At what days will Dev Diaries be posted?

Today was the first one! : )

10 to 11 characters at launch.

Some of the characters NPCs?

Allies! These are skilled people you can rescue from the Banished Court and bring back to your hideout to help your cause.

Eagerly awaiting Dev Diary #5…
