CMON is no longer the publisher of Zombicide. Asmodee officially acquired the IP this week, and it’s already generating mixed feelings — some excited for stability, others worried about creative loss.
I made a short video reflecting on the news and what it might mean for fans of big, wild board games like Zombicide. I tried to take a positive but clear-eyed view.
🎥 Asmodee Acquires Zombicide – CMON’s Era With the Franchise Comes to a Close
Would love to hear others’ thoughts:
What do you hope Asmodee brings to Zombicide?
Are we entering a new phase for big box board games?
Small correction: I mention that CMON currently has 10 games in various stages of development — the actual number is 16. Thanks to the folks who pointed that out!
This video’s really about change — and how even big shifts in the board game world can bring opportunities. I hope it feels like a calm, thoughtful take on what this means for Zombicide, CMON, Asmodee… and for all of us who love the hobby.
💬 I’d love to hear your thoughts:
What stood out to you most in the news?
Do you think this is good for the Zombicide franchise long-term?
And what would you like to see Asmodee do with it?
Thanks for watching and for showing up with curiosity and kindness.
