Aconyte Books & CMON Will Collaborate To Publish “Zombicide” Novels

NOTTINGHAM, UK/SINGAPORE Asmodee Entertainment is delighted to announce that Aconyte, the new fiction imprint of global games group Asmodee, has secured a multi-year agreement with CMON – Cool Mini or Not for long-time fans – to create brand new novels set in the worlds of their acclaimed ZOMBICIDE range of games.

Debuting in 2012, Zombicide became the first of a wildly popular series of tabletop games that pit players against the nastiest walking dead the game can throw at them. With incredibly detailed miniatures and fast, action-packed gameplay, the games have picked up legions of fanatical players. As well as the modern day original, CMON have also set recent variants back in medieval times (Zombicide: Black Plague) and far out in the depths of space (Zombicide: Invader) – and Aconyte plans to publish novels based in all three settings. The first Zombicide novel is expected to hit shops for Halloween 2021.

Aconyte publisher Marc Gascoigne commented: “We love Zombicide, for the all-out mayhem of the game, the passion of its dedicated following – and the lovingly detailed (and incredibly deadly) worlds that its designers have created. There are a whole bunch of stories we want to create, to explore their secrets further.”
