It’s Thanksgiving Eve, which means all you boys and girls will be waking up early tomorrow to open presents with all your loved ones. Did Santa bring you a turkey leg this year? Perhaps some stuffing in your stocking? You’ll just have to wait and see.

In the meantime, let’s focus instead on one of the most beautiful traditions of Thanksgiving Eve: announcing release dates for games. We’re beyond honored that PlayStation has invited us to take part in this year’s festivities, and we’re excited to finally be able to tell you that Tharsis will be making its way to PS4 on January 12th.

For those just hearing about it, Tharsis is a turn-based strategy game about humanity’s first mission to Mars.

Having spent years playing Dungeons and Dragons, one thing always annoyed me: the power differential between spellcasters and the rest of the classes. As a DM, I had to figure out a way to have magic prominent without having my fighters and rogues stacking dice in the corner as a group of my goblins were being blown up by another fireball.

So, I took away the wizards and made magic something attainable by anyone who could get their hands on a mask. Players immediately began seeking out masks that enhanced their class abilities. Combat became a dance of steel and spells. And that, in turn, became the basis of what would become Masquerada.

Translating the tabletop experience to the screen would be a daunting task, but it was made far easier with the help of Nicholas Chan, our writer. He came up with the idea of using the arts as a kind of foci. Masks provide the raw power, but you need concentration to bend it to your will. Dance, song, and the focus of sports have translated well...
