Versus Evil today announced that Antihero, the strategic digital board game by indie developer Tim Conkling, will launch on July 12^th, 2017 for PC. Mobile devices are expected to release some time thereafter.

In Antihero gamers play the part of the feared and revered master thief in a Victorian gas-lit underworld.  Using lanterns to upgrade their skills and gold coins to hire a variety of less than pleasant characters to do their dirty work, they have to take over each territory before their opponent does.

The full release will include a single player campaign mode, vs AI mode plus two multiplayer modes, Casual Match and Live Match in which turns are timed.  Gamers also have a choice to invite a friend or be auto-matched against an opponent.

Customers who pre-order the game on STEAM can get 20% off the suggested retail price, PLUS the first DLC pack, “The Book Club” character pack, for FREE. This pack contains four Master Thief skins based on well-known literary characters: Miss Alice, Ebeneezer Scrooge, Sherlock Holmes, and Tiny Tim for free.
