Overview
Warzone is a tabletop miniature wargame based on the Mutant Chronicles universe and role-playing game. It features squad-based combat at a skirmish level, although vehicles and large models were introduced in later supplements to the main rule book..
Warzone was originally produced by epic games. The rights to the Warzone brand were acquired by Paradox Entertainment in December 1999, in the wake of a complicated restructuring of Target Games and its child companies. Warzone has since gone out of print.
As of 2023, the American company Res Nova LLC. have launched a Kickstarter campaign for Warzone Eternal. In 2020, they had announced they had acquired the rights to Warzone and are developing a new Edition of the game.
Setting
Warzone takes place in a fictional dieselpunk future in which a space faring humanity has explored beyond Pluto and has uncovered ancient artifacts which unleashed an evil entity known as the Dark Soul and an obscure magical force known as the Dark Symmetry. This force soon started corrupting both man and thinking machines, instilling hatred and fear in their minds, then sent its own minions, consisting of legions of undead mutants and alien monsters called Nefarites, in an attempt to conquer humanity. In light of these events, technological and social progress has largely come to a halt. Most people are citizens of one of the major megacorporations, who have colonized the inner planets of the solar system, and who fight against each other when not fighting the evil forces of the Dark Soul. The Earth has become known as Dark Eden following a global apocalypse, and it is home only to tribal survivors and renegades. This background is intricately tied to that of the Mutant Chronicles role-playing game.
