Cubicle 7 To Stop Publishing Lone Wolf

Cubicle 7 has announced in a short that it will no longer be publishing the Lone Wolf RPG, which they’ve produced for the last 8 years.

Unfortunately, due to some recent unexpected developments, Cubicle 7 will no longer be publishing Lone Wolf roleplaying games with Holmgard Press.

Cubicle 7 would like to thank you for your support over the years since our Lone Wolf Adventure began in 2013. As fans of Lone Wolf since childhood we have really enjoyed working on this line and creating adventures for all the brave and noble warrior-monks.

That’s all they’ve said at this stage.

“Warrior-monks” certainly sounds that call. Damn, I’d never heard of this, but it sounds like something I’d enjoy at least reading, and that cover art tells me the artist is the same as The One Ring 1e, John Hogdes, Hogdeman, something like that.

You can get the entire series free as a phone app. It's worth a read. Very rich setting with a lot of different missions though the 3rd set of books fell a bit short of the others.

once again Cubicle 7 drop another licensed property after stating that they would be supporting it with more products soon...... losing faith in them as a company

Their statement doesn't make it sound voluntary.

I'm expecting that the RPG books will follow the same direction of the gamebooks and will now be published by Holmgard Press, the small-press publishing house directly owned by the son of Joe Dever.

Well, if there is anything I've learned from collecting the Adventures in Middle-Earth 5E books by Cubicle 7, it is this: If your interested in these books, get em NOW because they are gonna be a pain to get, normal price wise, once this happnes.

My understanding of Cubicle 7’s process is that they have completely separate teams dealing with their different product lines, so I imagine it’s not about a staff resource issue. More likely to be either licensing, loss of a key person on the design team, or the line itself not being profitable.

Just looked back at an earlier news and it was just this April 2021 that Cubicle7 announced they renewed the Lone Wolf license.

Cubicle 7 renews Lone Wolf RPG and confirms new books

In the Lone Wolf Adventure Game, players are Kai Lords, noble warrior-monks sworn to protect Sommerlund from the Darklords.

In that happy April news announcement there were supposed to be more books, do not like Lone wolf is dead, until now:

More details will be revealed soon, but the Book of the Magnakai has been confirmed as among the first of the new slate of releases.

Magnakai will take characters from Rank 10 to Rank 20; that’s enough to become a legend. It will include new abilities and powers for Kai Lords and other heroic roles.

A buddy of mine works for the Dever estate as a writer... so this hits home.

The actual game books have a very distinctive (but different) art style, too. Very early British fantasy art, although not the proto-Warhammer stuff that Fighting Fantasy had. (Which makes sense, since the folks behind Fighting Fantasy were a large part of Warhammer when it started up.)

Considering that Gary Chalk did a lot of stuff for Games Workshop as well as the Lone Wolf art there's a direct Warhammer link.
