Chaos In the Old World and two more classics are reimagined in Gravemarch, a brand new setting in the world of Talisman Realm.
Sunrise, FL – November 5, 2026. Today, Restoration Games and Games Workshop announced a multi-year licensing deal, starting with the return of three beloved games with that signature Restoration touch: Devastation in the Dread World, Dungeons of Gravemarch: The Card Game, and Warrior Knights. The three games are in the setting of Gravemarch, a place of high-fantasy, teeming with malevolent factions, vying for control over the few pockets of humanity that remain. This original setting is being developed by Restoration Games exclusively for the Talisman Realm, Games Workshop’s new, expanded brand.
The first title for release is Devastation in the Dread World, a Talisman Realm reimagining for Chaos in the Old World, a grail game for many. It features the same gritty play with area control, asymmetric factions, and blood-soaked politics with modern refinements, such as scenario-based play over random events. Original designer, Eric Lang, joins the Restoration design team to bring this new version to life.
“I think Chaos in the Old World is my most requested reprint from the most dedicated fans,” Eric said. “Restoration is the perfect match to bring this game into 2026. I started this project excited, now I’m beyond thrilled.”
Dungeons of Gravemarch: The Card Game is a restoration of Space Hulk: Death Angel – The Card Game and puts the players in control of the last few human heroes, hunting amid the ruins of the world for powerful artifacts to fight back against the evil forces that oppose them. It’s an explosive game in a compact package. Warrior Knights is a restoration of the original 1985 classic, itself redone in 2006. In this new setting, the humans have regained control of the world but are now fighting among themselves for ultimate power.
“Since I started the company, the idea of working with Games Workshop has been a goal I could not have imagined was possible,” said Justin D. Jacobson, owner of Restoration Games. “These games have that signature spice that only a Games Workshop setting can offer. Gritty, grungy, brutal, and explosively fun. Getting to work on them now is a dream come true.
Devastation in the Dread World heads to crowdfunding early next year, followed by a retail release. Dungeons of Gravemarch: The Card Game and Warrior Knights are tentatively scheduled to debut in 2028. Under the agreement, additional games in Gravemarch or other new settings in the Talisman Realm are also possible.
