Spanish wargame publisher Corvus Belli is bringing its new fantasy skirmish game, Warcrow, to mobile screens. In a collaboration with developer Top App Games, two of the game’s heroes will appear in the mobile strategy title Ludus: Merge Arena.
The crossover takes the form of a limited-time “Astral Rift” event, running from September 25th to October 16th. During this period, players of Ludus: Merge Arena can add two legendary heroes from the Warcrow universe to their roster. Verena of Aurtigard, a defensive support mage, will be available as an in-game event reward. In contrast, the warrior-mage Uruk can only be unlocked through a special purchase.

This move sees Corvus Belli following a well-trodden path for tabletop IP holders. Extending a brand into the casual mobile gaming market is a popular strategy for audience expansion, most notably and extensively used by Games Workshop with its Warhammer franchise, which has seen dozens of mobile game adaptations and collaborations over the last decade. For a newer property like Warcrow, it represents an effort to build brand recognition beyond the dedicated tabletop scene.
The Warcrow tabletop game is set in the fantasy world of Lindwurm and has recently been expanded with The Song of the Dormant battle pack, which introduced two new factions. The mobile host for its heroes, Ludus: Merge Arena, is a PvP strategy game where players compete to earn resources and unlock rewards.
Vladimir Markov, CEO of Top App Games, said in a statement,
Warcrow brings a rich fantasy universe with iconic characters, and collaborations like this show how Ludus: Merge Arena and mobile games in general can connect different worlds and expand the possibilities of play.”
Max Lattanzi, Head of Marketing for Corvus Belli, explained the dual-platform presence.
Verena and Uruk are stepping into both the tabletop battlefield and the digital realm, giving fans twice the opportunities to enjoy their stories,” he told press. “Our partnership unites the best of wargaming and mobile fantasy gaming.”

In addition to the in-game event, Top App Games will be running social media giveaways for physical Warcrow board game boxes.
