What is Revenant

From the void between dimensions, an ancient cosmic entity emerged—corrupting, consuming, and devouring all in its path. In the wake of the cataclysm known as Voidfall, the admirals of the fallen galactic empire, the Domineum, forged a desperate contingency plan. To preserve the legacy of the human civilization from the Voidborn threat, a former imperial flagship, the Revenant, was retrofitted to carry vast databanks containing the accumulated knowledge of humanity and escape the fallen empire. Now, bearing humanity’s last hope and escorted by the ships of the Domineum’s last Great Houses, you must guide the fleet to safety beyond the known galaxy, balance fragile alliances, and secure not only the survival of humankind—but also your own political destiny.

Revenant is a standalone, competitive worker placement game of shifting allegiances, set in the Voidfall universe. Players take on the role of rival admirals coordinating the defense of a fleeing starfleet, and competing to earn influence with the factions that stand to survive the journey.

Across four rounds, players assign crew to ships throughout the fleet, from which they will fight corrupted ships, explore planets in search of resources, upgrade their ship and crew, deploy new vessels, and more. Each ship is affiliated with one of the Great Houses, and each time you assign crew there, you gain influence with that House.

The journey won’t be an easy one. The Voidborn’s corrupted forces will continuously attack the fleet, dealing damage to various ships at the end of every round. You can take your part in protecting the fleet by destroying enemy ships, repairing friendly vessels or maneuvering them to safe areas, or ultimately activating the Revenant’s hyperdrive to jump to a safer sector. Regardless of your efforts, there will be casualties - you have to make sure that the Houses you have influence in are protected above others.
