Ares Games will be at Essen Spiel 2025 (October 23-26, Essen, Germany, Hall 3 A-115) with new releases, previews, and events.
At the show, attendees can get the first copies of WunderWaffen – a strategy game portraying the last months of World War 2 – and of the roll-and-write game TEDOKU. Three more new games will also be available at Spiel: Quartermaster General: South Front, Perfect Mismatch, and Dirt & Dust, published by Albi. A limited number of copies of Sword & Sorcery - Abyssal Legends, the mind-bending climax of the Ancient Chronicles and Immortal Souls sagas, will also be available for purchase.
These are the last copies players will be able to get now – this new campaign set will be released to retail in Summer 2026. At the Ares Games booth, it will be possible to play for the first time two upcoming Mega Empires: The Far East games (North and South) – the new additions to the epic Mega Empires game series – and Altay – Seafarers, the first expansion for Altay – Dawn of Civilization.
Viking Route, our cooperative adventure game with an ingenious compass-and-magnets mechanic, releasing in early 2026, will also be in demo, as well as recent releases like Aeterna and Balconia, and best sellers like War of the Ring - The Card Game and Sword & Sorcery. Ares will also host special activities at the booth: “Play to Win” games for TEDOKU and Perfect Mismatch and “Play with the Designer” sessions with Sandro Blasich, author of TEDOKU, Walter Obert, author of WunderWaffen, and Flo de Haan and Gerart de Haan, authors of Mega Empires.
