Fantasy Flight Games have announced that they are to acquire the Legend of the Five Rings property from AEG. Set in an alternate world, within a massive Japanese themed empire, Legend of the Five Rings focuses heavily on political maneuvering, clan rivalries, purging demonic or spiritual incursions, and surviving the combat and potential political ramifications that all three entail. Both the CCG and the roleplaying system will be absorbed and reworked by FFG. Most notably, the CCG will be adapted and released as FFG’s newest LCG game, with large changes to the mechanics and rules inbound. It will also be interesting to see how FFG chooses to integrate one of the more impressive features of the property: taking player made events and characters that feature predominantly in official roleplaying events and incorporating them as actual playable cards within the CCG.

The current incarnation of the Legend of the Five Rings CCG will be complete with the release of the Evil Portents expansion from AEG, after which it will go into haitus until it’s released anew by FFG. The new LCG and RP system are due to be released at GenCon 2017.
