Rather large Infinity update




Yeah well I guess I only have myself to blame on this one. The past few weeks have been a bit hectic and down right difficult round here and as such I haven't exactly kept on top of things on this here blog. But boy have there been some pretty darn huge updates going on in the World of Infinity! I obviously didn't do my July Infinity update release, so those will be covered here, as well as Augusts rather exciting looking bunch of releases. However, the biggest news regarding Infinity has to simply be the release finally of the the third Infinity book, the campaigns and mission book. This has got me massively excited, because lets face it, missions and campaigns have been the missing part of the jigsaw for Infinity for almost... well... since it was released actually. The Campaign Paradiso book is a very welcome sight for Infinity players indeed, it's what we've been asking for, for years, and it's what I've had minor grumbles about on here for the last few months now. Obviously I haven't seen what it's all about and how good it is yet, but I remain optimistic that it will plug a large gap in the game system successfully and finally make Infinity a complete game system.


The other massively exciting news that came out of the announcement of the Infinity Campaign Book was the revealing of a totally new alien race and faction in the Infinity universe called the Tohaa. Rumours of a second all new alien race / faction have been murmured about for some time now. However, I'll be honest and say I didn't quite expect to see them released so soon. I thought they might have been held back until Corvus Belli were ready to give us all the full on updated 3rd Edition. I guess I was wrong. So we have been told a little bit of the fluff behind them, like the fact they're at war with the Combined Army, like the number 3 and are apparently hoping that humanity will help them out with their war against the Combined Army. Beasts of War have covered them in a bit more depth in a video found here. I however am waiting to see what is actually written about them in the campaign book itself, I'm quite a fan of the Infinity backstory, no doubt when the book is released I'll do a full breakdown on the Tohaa, and of course review the book.
