Need Games has officially launched the Kickstarter campaign for the Celebration Edition of Fabula Ultima, the ENNIE Award-winning tabletop JRPG inspired roleplaying game. This campaign offers fans both old and new a chance to pick up deluxe hardback editions of the core rulebook, three setting atlases, and the highly requested Bestiary Volume I, packed with hundreds of unique creatures and villains.
A Celebration of Fabula Ultima
Originally released in 2022, Fabula Ultima is designed to capture the grand storytelling, magic, and adventurous spirit of classic JRPGs. Players craft epic tales of heroes, villains, and fantastical worlds that feel right at home for anyone familiar with games like Final Fantasy.
“For our Fabula Ultima community, this truly is a celebration of the worlds we’ve collectively built together,” said Matteo Pedroni, Head of Marketing at Need Games. “And for newcomers, you’ll find this is a very easy game to pick up, especially if you already love JRPGs. If you’ve played any Final Fantasy game, you already know how to play Fabula Ultima.”
