Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace

Mansions of Madness: Mother's Embrace was originally announced back in 2018, with an anticipated release date of Q1 2019. Evidently, that did not come to pass, but it'll now arrive - with its new name and with a new developer, Artefacts Studio, at the helm - next year.
