That’s a lot of questions! Ok lets go. Aconyte Books is the new imprint from Asmodee Entertainment. We are a friendly fantasy publisher bringing you new adventures and world-expanding fiction from your favorite games and comics.
We launched in the UK in October with our first 2 books set in the world of Keyforge and Arkham Horror. Since then we have also released novels in the Legend of the Five Rings, Twilight Imperium, Descent and Marvel IPs. We have been working with FFG for a number of their IPs and we recently acquired contracts to create our own Marvel Universe (Aconyte-618), hack the world in Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs Legion and expand the world of Assassin’s Creed. 2021 will also see tories set in Gloomhaven, Terraforming Mars and Zombicide! We’ve definitely been busy in lockdown!
We focus on tie-in fiction in Aconyte so no graphic novels from us, though Asmodee Entertainment are creating some cool stuff in that vein. I think that board game and RPG designers should definitely consider us for further adventures in their IPs. We have some of the best people in the industry working with and writing for us, and your worlds would be in great hands!
Marc, our head publisher, founded Games Workshop’s The Black Library and Angry Robot Publishing, and has worked on Fighting Fantasy novels and many many well-known RPGs so he knows what he’s talking about. Our authors are best-sellers in the tie-in fiction world and wonderful writers.
We are very active on social media and do a lot of interviews and game playing with our authors over on our Facebook channel. Come chat with us!
