- Goliath Games announced 'Fourth Wing: Rise of the Wingleader,' launching July 15 — a date fans call Conscription Day — with pre-orders live on Amazon at $24.99.
- The game is based on Rebecca Yarros' Empyrean series and set at the brutal Basgiath War College, featuring original character artwork of fan-favorite leads Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson.
- Each copy includes a metal Tairn bookmark that doubles as a first-player marker, and a Bookseller Variant with exclusive collector packaging will be sold through participating book retailers.
- Goliath designed the game with a team of dedicated 'Fourth Wing' readers, and Tairn's character art was selected through an Instagram fan vote — what the publisher calls a community-first approach.
- The tabletop launch lands alongside a Prime Video TV adaptation of 'Fourth Wing,' with Yarros attached as executive producer.
- Goliath will run live gameplay demos at Gen Con (Lucky Duck booth No. 2827) and host a San Diego Comic-Con activation with Den of Geek, plus social giveaways tied to Conscription Day (July 15) and Threshing Day (Oct. 1).
Why it matters: The $24.99 price point and collectible Tairn bookmark position this as accessible fan merchandise rather than a hardcore strategy title, while the Prime Video adaptation already in development means Goliath is launching into a franchise with built-in hype — converting Yarros readers into tabletop players before the show expands the audience further.
