Edited by HispaZargon: I merged all the messages from thread "WIZARDS OF MORCAR (leak) discussion" in this already existing thread called "WIZARDS OF ZARGON discussion", for better tracking of events since both threads treat the same topic. Final title of the expansion looks like that it will be with the name of 'Morcar', but not still confirmed so I decided to not correct the title of any post and keep them as they were written originally until the expansion title is confirmed."News is being broken as we speak.. thanks to Archian and seekhashem on HeroQuestFans discord (and Archian said he was reposting so it is appearing other places). Listings are appearing on distributors that Wizards of Morcar (yes, they are not calling it "Wizards of Zargon") and COPD (Crypt of Perpetual Darkness) are apparently on the horizon.
People will recall that Wizards of Morcar was the second to last official boxed release in Europe for HeroQuest in 1991 (two more Dave Morris novels came out one each in 1992 and 1993... and HeroQuest: Advanced Quest aka Master Edition came out in 1992 featuring "The Dark Company" while 1992 also saw the release in the US of the Barbarian and Elf Quest Packs which proved to be the last official boxed expansions until 2021's revival).
A lot of us have been speculating that WOM was going to be remade under Avalon Hill anyway once ATOH was confirmed, but nobody was quite sure when it would happen. Patrick O'Rourke laughed when I asked him about it in August at Gencon, and Doug Hopkins repeatedly said both on and off camera that he couldn't comment on things that hadn't been officially approved for announcement or release yet. Some speculated that this might be the "last" release, but there's no sign that HeroQuest is stopping (the App was renewed through the end of December 2026).
CoPD would mark the last big chunk of "Mythic tier" material that hadn't been yet released to retail and a lot of us assumed based on what was being said by Avalon Hill reps (especially Encarmine aka Chris Nadeau when he was still with the company) that this was probably never coming out due to exclusivity. If that has changed that would make a lot of people very happy!
Anyway here is what we know so far. In the past these store listings appear and disappear quickly but are usually a clear sign of a real release coming in the near future (certainly within 18 months!).
We begin with Archian's posts on our discord:

Also posting this here. I just got confirmation from a retailer that they are taking preorders for Crypt of Pepertual Darkness
https://www.adventgames.com.au/p/958137 ... order.htmlI have asked them to confirm that they have word from Hasbro that there will indeed be a release of Crypt of Pepertual Darkness and asked who their supplier is"
Let me also point everyone to the
Wizards of Morcar Suggestions thread! Here's hoping Avalon Hill has considered this info as well!
