Gen Con 2025: Free League announces Twilight Sword, an Anime-Style RPG

Posted on by

Free League Publishing kicked off Gen Con 2025 with a flurry of announcements including Twilight Sword, a brand new anime-style RPG designed by the award-winning Italian games studio Two Little Mice and to be published by Free League.

Twilight Sword is inspired by classic video games like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Ni No Kuni and by the animated movies of Studio Ghibli. In Twilight Sword, players take on the role of Champions who travel to bring back Hope to the lands of Radia.

Champions need to free the World free from Desperation, before they enter to the Fortress of Evil, where they can face the scourge Vardas in a battle for the fate of Radia.

Twilight Sword is planned for a 2026 release and will be a 11.5×21 cm hardcover book that opens into a perfect square. Each spread of the book is divided into squares and rectangles that keep all the information easily accessible!

Free League Announces Partnership for Award-Winning Cinematic RPG Outgunned

Outgunned

Free League Publishing has announced a publishing partnership with Italian games studio Two Little Mice (2LM) for its award-winning cinematic action RPG Outgunned, published under the Free League Workshop sub-label for externally developed games.

The Outgunned core rulebook is now available in the Free League webshop, alongside the expansions Action Flicks and World Of Killers, the mini-campaign Project Medusa, and a Director Screen.

Outgunned is a cinematic action RPG inspired by classic action and heist movies. In Outgunned, you play as a group of Heroes struggling against a Villain to try and save the day. Always outnumbered. Always outgunned.

Outgunned features a game system called Director’s Cut; a set of mechanics using small pools of six-sided dice to determine the outcome of the Heroes’ actions. When rolling dice, your goal is not to score the highest or lowest possible number, but to roll two-, three-, and four-of-a-kind.

During its Kickstarter campaign last year, Outgunned quickly gained traction in the roleplaying community. It exceeded its €10,000 goal and raised an impressive €286,323, unlocking all stretch goals.
