Image Comics has announced a sequel to DIE, the comic about a group of TTRPG players who get trapped in the world of the game they're playing. DIE: Loaded will pick up a year after the finale of the original comic, with the surviving cast trying to acclimate to real life after their second trip into the DIE game world. While the comic is a continuation of the original, creator Kieron Gillen mentioned in an interview with Rascal that the new comic is meant to be enjoyed on its own. In addition to Gillen, artist Stephanie Hans is also returning for the sequel, as is letterer Clayton Cowles.
DIE: Loaded will also include a new Quickstart for the DIE TTRPG, which is a game that allows players to play as real world players trapped in the world of the game they're playing in. The Quickstart will include pregenerated characters, a shortened version of the rules set, and a new multi-session scenario to playthrough. The DIE RPG, published by Rowan, Rook, and Decard, won the Best Role-playing Game Core Product Origins Award back in 2023.
DIE: Loaded #1 will be released on November 12th.
