Ravensburger announces new Disney Villainous games and international tournaments
At the London Toy Fair, award-winning publisher Ravensburger announced three major updates to its Villainous franchise in 2025, a series of board games based on iconic Disney properties. The announcement includes a new all-ages board game, Disney Villainous Unstoppable!, an expanded international tournament circuit, and new Villainous games — including one set in the Star Wars universe.
“We know people love Villainous, but one of the most common things we hear from our fans is that they love the game’s immersion, artwork and style and wished there was an easy way to bring that joy to kids or families who might not have time to play a longer strategy game,” said Lysa Penrose, Head of New Games Marketing at Ravensburger in a statement provided to Polygon. “Disney Villainous Unstoppable! is designed with that in mind, and brings that storytelling to a new, more traditional gaming experience that feels at home with other game night classics.”
Unlike the original game, which features asymmetrical rules for all players, Unstoppable! utilizes a shared gameplay board, adapting the design of the original into a fast-paced, easy-to-learn game. Designed for 2-4 players, each of the game’s four Disney villains — Hades, Ursula, Scar, and Maleficent — have a distinct Realm with original artwork as they work against classic Disney heroes (and each other) to take actions and collect tokens to complete their unique evil plan. Unstoppable! is slated for release this summer.
Also announced at the London Toy Fair is an expanded global tournament and retail event circuit. The added events will take place in France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Australia, alongside the already existing North American tournaments at Gen Con and PAX Unplugged. Ravensburger will also be offering the Disney Villainous Night Out organized play kit for friendly local gaming stores who want to bring the game to their communities.
The final announcement includes some standalone expansions, which includes the first live-action Disney villain (though the company did not specify which one) and a new game featuring characters from the Star Wars universe. More details about that game are slated to be revealed later this year.
