Yes Mantic and the genius that is Alessio Cavatore have teamed up on an all new fantasy chess game called LOKA.
Alissio stated on his facebook yesterday,
“And so it goes public…
Loka is the next River Horse product, the end of several ears of development. Mantic will take care of the manufacturing and selling/distribution.
Yes, this is the first time some of MY OWN MODELS go online for the public to see…
Very exciting! Very scary!”
Below is Mantic’s announcement.
Bit of exciting news for you today that we just couldn’t wait to tell you about!
We are pleased to be working with Alessio Cavatore on River Horse’s new game – Loka: The World of Fantasy Chess, coming soon!
River Horse has designed the game, from the rules to the fantasy chess sets based on the four elements: Air/Wind, Earth/Wood, Fire/Lava and Water/Ice, sculpted by Wojchiek Flis. These figures are designed for plastic production and are clearly identifiable as the Chess Pieces they represent.
A Pawn of the Earth Army
Mantic Games will be publishing the game, handling all of the manufacturing and distribution leaving the Mantic Design Studio free to complete the Kings of War and DreadBall Kickstarter models.More on Loka: The World of Fantasy Chess will be revealed later this week – don’t miss it!
And just in the Bishop for Loka.
And the box art.
We will be keeping a close eye on this one it looks fantasytastic.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
