“It’s terrific to re-activate my old connections with Chaosium and work closely with them once more,” said Petersen of Call of Cthulhu: Terror Paths. “I look forward to introducing new players to the horror of Lovecraft’s tales with a fast and easy to play board game. It also has the depth and detail to fascinate even the most experienced gamer. It provides an authentic and unique Call of Cthulhu experience. The game design is done and I consider Call of Cthulhu Terror Paths to be my personal contribution to the 40th anniversary of Call of Cthulhu!”
Petersen served as the primary author for the first Call of Cthulhu tabletop roleplaying game when it was released in 1981. After leaving the tabletop industry, Petersen went on to work on Doom (designing several levels for both Doom and its sequel) and then on the original Age of Empires series. In recent years, Petersen started his own tabletop company and published the hit game Cthulhu Wars, which puts players in control of a faction of cosmic horror-themed monsters as they grapple for control of the cosmos. Call of Cthulhu has remained one of the more popular tabletop roleplaying games, often times landing under just Dungeons & Dragons in terms of popularity and sales.
No release date or retail price was given for Call of Cthulhu: Terror Paths, but the game will be released directly to retail sometime in 2022.
