Catalyst Game Labs is bringing Leviathans back to market almost 10 years later, and has set announcements for their Kickstarter on the relaunch site for August with an AMA taking place on July 23rd...
https://monstersinthesky.com/...it looks like they will be continuing forward with all of the turn of the century alternate history background developed from the original game and most of the earlier mechanics. Color coded dice with different distributions of numbers, and location-based damage and systems with spillover are still the focus of the game.
The main changes appear to be in how the game is packaged, the first edition never made it beyond the 2 player starter set mostly due to its price point of $100 (how I miss the days of that being a high price) and now everything is focusing on faction boxes with ships, cards, bases all in one self contained, shelf friendly package. Catalyst learned 2.5 million lessons from their Battletech Kickstarter, and it looks like they are putting all of their best practices for customer and brick and mortar retailers into this project from what I can see.
Will this campaign be as large as Clan Invasion, no, probably not. Will Leviathans boxes end up covering shelves in game stores, and possibly have exclusives in Barnes & Noble, I absolutely think so.
