Russian-speaking fans of the "Twilight Imperium: Fourth Edition" board game will also be able to appreciate the "Prophecy of Kings" expansion, which adds "Breakthroughs", new factions, a special planet, neutral units, the "Entropy Scar" anomaly, and the "Fall of the Twilight" mode to the project.
Hobby World Publishing announced that in December it is going to open a pre-order for the "Prophecy of Kings" expansion for the "Twilight Imperium: Fourth Edition" board game on the CrowdRepublic crowdfunding platform.
This expansion will add "Breakthrough" to the project – a new type of factional components, most often obtained through Expedition. "Breakthrough" gives a unique ability and adds synergy between two technology colors. Every time someone gets a "Breakthrough", a "Rift" may appear in the game.
By introducing a "Rift", the participant lays out its fragments along the edge of the field and places neutral units there. You can get into the "Rift" through the "Prophecy of Kings", and if it has not yet been revealed, then through Mecatol. The planets inside the "Rift" are rich in relics, and the planet Styx is also a legendary one.
Neutral units are troops that do not belong to any of the players. They guard special sectors and attack flying participants. Any inactive players roll the dice for them, and hits are distributed in the order from the memo.
Gamers will have the opportunity to encounter a new anomaly called the "Entropy Scar". This is a zone that blocks all unit abilities. "Galactic Events" will become available – optional optional modes and rules that can be selected during preparation.
The "Fall of the Twilight" mode will be presented. In it, people construct their factions during the game, make serious decisions earlier than usual, and wage war in completely different ways.
In addition, players will find other changes in the expansion: coexistence, double planet types, double technological specializations, rebalancing of the "Construction" and "War" strategy cards, new factions, and much more.
The translation of the "Prophecy of Kings" expansion, which includes all official codices, is almost complete. Editing, layout and production are ahead. In April-May 2026, according to Hobby World employees, everything should be ready.
