Introducing the Beast Universe

Beast Universe logo

Back in 2017, we set out to create a board game. What started as a small idea turned into something far bigger than we ever imagined.

We had no idea that players around the world would fall in love with stepping into the role of a ferocious Beast or one of the daring Hunters in our asymmetric hidden-movement game, Beast. The core game and its expansions were only the tip of the iceberg. We can today announce four brand-new projects that will shape the next chapters of the Beast Universe.

A new standalone game set in the Beast Universe, Hollow Pact is a fast-paced, horror-filled game, blending strategy, survival, and treachery—a thrilling experience from both sides of the chase.

Confront cultists and minions. Unravel dark mysteries. Or hunt down a mighty Beast. In this roleplaying adaptation, based on the 2024 5th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons, you’ll find rules for Players and Dungeon Masters, along with locations, adventures, monsters, and expanded lore.

A set of six novellas, each featuring a Beast from the original game. These stories will delve deep into Beast Lore, fleshing out its unique setting and themes. They’ll be written by Joshua Green, our previous collaborator for The Great Hunt, short fiction author and poet.

Where it all started

Welcome to the Northern Expanse, a place where nature is still unexplored, mystical and dangerous. Beast is a one-vs-many type of game, in which one player takes the role of a Beast: a giant godlike creature who wants to fend off the humans invading their domains. All other players take the role of hunters, who cooperate in an epic hunt to track and kill the Beast.
