![]() ![]() In 2014 a new game in the franchise was released by Free League ( Fria Ligan in Swedish), under license from Paradox Entertainment (the successor company of Target Games, now Cabinet Entertainment). It reached such a level of success with Swedish gamers that the next Mutant publisher, Free League, would reissue the 2002 rulebook in 2019. : 216 This game was, like the old editions, never translated into English. Järnringen supported this line through 2008. ![]() Where the original game, like many games published in the 80s, did not offer much world building Undergångens Arvtagare considerably expanded on the premise of a fledgling Scandinavian civilization rising from the ruins, especially through the published campaign, eponymously called Undergångens Arvtagare (which translates to Heirs to the Apocalypse). ![]() : 210Īfter Äventyrsspel ceased publication the rights to the original (post-apocalyptic) Mutant game was picked up by Järnringen (The Iron Ring), who published their version Mutant: Undergångens arvtagare (2002). The English translation of Mutant Chronicles was provided by Heartbreaker Hobbies and Games. : 209 This iteration, however, was short-lived: after the English release of Kult came Mutant Chronicles (1993) this new edition was actually a synthesis, combining elements of Mutant RYMD and Kult - but removing all the religious elements from the latter, and, as a first for Target Games was released almost simultaneously in Sweden and in the US, as both a pen and paper role-playing game, collectible miniatures game ( Warzone) and board game ( Siege of the Citadel). Mutant RYMD (1992), which translates to "Mutant SPACE", changed the setting once again, by taking it out into the solar system. This game was simply called Mutant, but is commonly referred to by fans as "new Mutant" ( Nya Mutant in Swedish). In 1989, however, Äventyrsspel completely reset the game with a second edition with a completely different setting (a cyberpunk setting heavily inspired by the Blade Runner movie) and new character options. : 209–210 The game was expanded by Mutant 2 (1986) and published throughout the 1980s. It was written by Gunilla Jonsson & Michael Petersén with illustrations by Nils Gulliksson. Instead of a fantasy setting, however, Mutant adopted a setting full of mutants (humans with enhanced powers) and mutated animals (anthropomorphic intelligent humanoids with similar powers) in a post-apocalyptic Scandinavia. Mutant (1984) was the second role-playing game published by Äventyrsspel after Drakar och Demoner, and like it, was based on the Basic Role-Playing system. A video game adaptation named Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden was released December 2018. The current version is developed by Fria Ligan under license by Cabinet Entertainment and published in Swedish and English by Fria Ligan and Modiphius respectively. Mutant is a series of Swedish role-playing games that were developed and published by Target Games using their Äventyrsspel (Adventure games) brand.
