Gaming Company Asmodee to Publish New Marvel Novels in 2020
Gaming company Asmodee Entertainment has announced that Aconyte, their new fiction imprint, has secured a multi-year agreement with Marvel to create new prose stories based around Marvel’s comic book characters. The first novels are slated to appear in Fall 2020, in trade paperback, ebook and audiobook editions.
This is the Asmodee Group’s third collaboration with Marvel. Earlier this summer, Asmodee’s Fantasy Flight Games announced the Marvel Champions living card game. Meanwhile, another Asmodee studio, Atomic Mass, are developing a tabletop miniatures game based on some of Marvel’s key properties, to be called Marvel: Crisis Protocol.
Aconyte publisher Marc Gascoigne said: “The Marvel comic book universe has featured a host of great characters and storylines crying out to be told over the years, and now is their time to step into the spotlight. You can look out for legends from Asgard, several volumes focusing on some of Marvel’s heroines, and stories of some of Professor Xavier’s lesser-known students, and that’s just to get us started.”
Asmodee Entertainment are delighted to announce that Aconyte, the new fiction imprint of global games group Asmodee, has secured a multi-year agreement with Marvel Entertainment to create new prose stories based around an exciting roster of Marvel’s comic book characters. The first novels are slated to appear in Fall 2020, in trade paperback, ebook and audiobook editions.

Andy Jones, Head of Asmodee Entertainment, said: “The opportunity for Asmodee to work with Marvel not only on Great Games but also Amazing Stories, as our slogan has it, really is a dream come true. The talented team at Aconyte are so excited to have this wonderful opportunity and will do a great job – the biggest challenge when gifted with the Marvel Universe is just where to start?!”
Asmodee Entertainment has already announced Aconyte’s plans to produce novels set in the worlds of some of Asmodee’s most popular games, but these are the first third-party properties to join their list.
The list will debut in 2020, with North American sales and distribution to be handled by Simon & Schuster. Outside of that, who knows?
