Forever Entertainment has announced that it will release Overboss on consoles, including Switch. The game is scheduled to arrive on August 15, 2024. Free DLC featuring new Tower tiles plus The Collective and The Brothers Wise bosses will be packed in.

Overboss is a retro-inspired board game. Players are tasked with creating the most dangerous, deadliest, and most powerful overworld Arcadia has ever seen. 

Here’s some additional information:

Overboss is a digital strategy board game where you stake forests, swamps, graveyards, and volcanoes, recruit monsters, and create the best combinations to collect the most points. Each terrain type is scored differently, and your minions must be arranged on them strategically to maximize their value!

Step into the shoes of 12 iconic bosses from the renowned board game Overboss, who want to attain supreme power by building their kingdom. The value of your dominion hinges on the arrangement of terrain tiles and the strategic placement of your monstrous minions. Each tile type and its positioning can either bolster or hinder your ascent to dominance.
