Marvel to Launch Core Rulebook for Tabletop Role-Playing Game in 2023

Today, Marvel announced the official role-playing game core rulebook and a new adventure book coming in Summer 2023. Both books are written by award-winning and New York Times best-selling author Matt Forbeck (The Marvel Encyclopedia, Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeonology) and feature covers by artist Iban Coello.

  • First, RPG players will be able to take on the roles of Marvel’s most famous Super Heroes in Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: Core Rulebook, on sale June 2023.
  • Fully updated and expanded from the playtest rulebook, which is now available, the core rulebook features all the rules that both new and seasoned players alike will need — including quick character creation, bombastic combat, and scores of amazing powers — plus full profiles of dozens of Marvel’s greatest heroes and villains.
  • All that's needed is the book, three standard six-sided dice, and friends.
  • A brand-new adventure book will then be on sale July 2023, Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: The Cataclysm of Kang.
  • This book includes new character profiles and features a series of six interlocked adventures.
  • Fans can play through with a new team or character each time or form a campaign that takes players from street-level heroes to cosmic champions.

  • Both books will be available wherever graphic novels and books are sold.

What they’re saying:

  • Game co-designer Matt Forbeck: “We’re absolutely thrilled with the volume and quality of the feedback the Narrators and players gave us on the Playtest Rulebook, and we truly took it to heart for in the core rulebook. We have a huge playtest update coming out soon that streamlines the game and makes it even easier to understand and play. I can’t wait for fans to try it out ahead of the full release of these books next summer!”
