Steamforged Games announced that it has acquired the Rivet Wars, a diesalpunk miniatures board game IP made by Age of Empires III creator Ted Terranova.

Rivet Wars was first launched in 2014, and later spawned multiple expansions released through CMON (see "'Rivet Wars' Expansions"). This game is set in the world of Rivet, World War I inspired landscape, and has been out of print for a few years now. SFG is clearly eyeing a revival of this tactical miniatures board game line:

“I was captivated by Rivet Wars on its original release," said Mat Hart, SFG co-founder and COO. "The world of Rivet is such a fun and exciting place and we have huge plans for where we can take the original concept. We want to develop the game in an exciting and unique direction, that original fans will love, but will also capture the imagination of new fans alike.”

The company gave no further details on plans for the IP or release dates.
