Renegade Game Studios and AMC Global Media Announce Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe Roleplaying Game

Immortal Universe Roleplaying Game

Step into the world of Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe, AMC’s original franchise based on the beloved book series, in an all-new tabletop roleplaying game where relationships matter more than power, memory is as dangerous as any monster, and every choice echoes across generations.

Create your own stories of vampires, witches, psychics, and ordinary humans whose lives become forever entwined through love, loyalty, ambition, and loss. Together, you’ll build chronicles that span decades, or centuries, exploring the emotional consequences and impossible choices of immortality.

This is a gothic horror RPG where the greatest monsters are often our own desires.

A Different Kind of Supernatural Roleplaying Game

While many supernatural RPGs focus on the struggle for power, political intrigue, and territorial conflict, Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe Roleplaying Game tells stories about relationships.

Family. Devotion. Betrayal. Loneliness. Memory.

The greatest threat is never simply an enemy across the table… often, it’s someone you can’t let go. Every decision carries emotional weight, and every relationship has the potential to reshape the world.

Stories Across the Ages

Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe isn’t confined to a single moment in history.

You will build chronicles that move between modern nights and forgotten decades. Follow characters whose histories stretch across lifetimes and eras. Discover how ancient promises, old betrayals, and memories long buried continue to shape the present.

In this world, the past is never truly gone.

A Storytelling System Designed for Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe

The game’s mechanics are built to reinforce the themes that define Anne Rice’s stories featured in the hit television series:

Success can be as dramatic as failure. Even when characters achieve exactly what they desire, victory may create unforeseen complications, heartbreak, or tragedy.

Flashbacks reshape the present. Using the game’s Flashback System, players revisit moments from their characters’ pasts, from brief interludes to entire sessions, revealing new truths that can transform the current story.

Time is a river, but you can fly. A chronicle might begin in modern-day New Orleans before traveling back to Paris in the 1800s, revealing events that forever change what players thought they knew.

The past is a mechanic. Memory, unreliable narration, and personal history are woven directly into gameplay, making history an active part of every session rather than mere background lore.

Collaborative storytelling. Through the game’s Rewrite mechanic, players may gain opportunities to briefly gain narrative control, deeply influencing scenes as they unfold and helping to shape dramatic moments.

Three damage tracks represent physical, psychological, and emotional harm, ensuring the consequences of every encounter extend beyond simple injury.

Healing comes through identity. Recovery isn’t just about resting; instead, it comes from embracing who your character truly is. The more authentically you play your character, the more you’ll heal your mind and body.

Coming to BackerKit in Fall 2026

The Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe RPG debuts with a journey into the themes and setting of AMC’s Interview with the Vampire, coming to BackerKit this Fall.

This crowdfunding campaign will introduce the first chapter of the Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe Roleplaying Game, inviting players to explore the world that began with Louis, Lestat, Claudia, and the unforgettable city of New Orleans.

The campaign will feature:

  • Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe Roleplaying Game: Interview with the Vampire Starter Set
  • Interview with the Vampire: New Orleans Rulebook
  • Premium accessories, including liquid core dice, character journals, dice bags, and more.
  • Campaign exclusive collectibles available only during the BackerKit campaign.

But this is only the beginning.

Interview with the Vampire is the first entry in a connected roleplaying game line inspired by Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe. Future releases will expand beyond humans and vampires, introducing witches, psychics, and other corners of this supernatural world, allowing players to build stories that delve into every lush nook and cranny of the Immortal Universe.

Gen Con 2025: Renegade’s Risk G.I. JOE: Special Missions Launches on Kickstarter

Renegade Game Studios, in collaboration with Avalon Hill, the strategy games division of Hasbro, has officially launched its Kickstarter campaign for RISK G.I. JOE: Special Missions, a bold new twist on the classic strategy game, this time set in the world of G.I. JOE.

To celebrate the launch, all backers will receive a free bonus pack featuring extra leaders for the base game, along with surprise unlocks revealed throughout the campaign. Renegade has confirmed that existing pre-orders will be honored, and those customers will also receive the bonus pack and access to all campaign-exclusive rewards.

RISK G.I. JOE: Special Missions blends the timeless tactics of RISK with the fast-paced action of G.I.

The Kickstarter campaign runs July 22 through August 14, with a special in-person preview available at Renegade’s booth (#1619) at Gen Con in the exhibitor hall.

Renegade Game Studios teases G.I. JOE Heroscape

Heroscape is a miniature game where you construct a battlefield and then battle it out with armies. The game originally was released in 2004 from Hasbro building up a loyal fanbase and originally ran until November 2010. Renegade Game Studios relaunched the game in 2024 and has since release multiple waves of product to expand the game. Generally a fantasy game, it looks like G.I. JOE will be coming to the game system in 2026.

With a simple teaser, Renegade Game Studios has released one piece of art and the broad 2026 release date.

The game should be perfect for G.I. JOE and brings the classic property to a tabletop miniature game system. Renegade Game Studios has been launching lots of various properties mixed with popular games like a G.I. JOE version of Axis & Allies and Transformers version of RoboRally.

It’ll be interesting to see what is released for the game but expect it to be a popular one as a G.I. JOE miniature game has been something that has been wanted for some time.
