Hey guys! It's time to get the word out about what's going to be hitting the shelves this summer from Asmodee US. (and yes, I'm well aware that if you're a store owner, there's a good chance you'll have heard all this already).
Senji - A conquest game taking place in feudal Japan. Players are Daimyo vying for the title of Shogun. Think Risk, but on a map of Japan, and with multiple ways of achieving victory (political, economic, or just plain normal warfare).
Okko - You liked Space Hulk? You liked Hybrid? You liked Tanhauser? Then this game's for you - two bands face off in a fantasy feudal Japan setting. There are scenarios, and enough characters for players to just pull stuff out of the box and have a blast. After all, what other boardgame could you have Ninja and Samurai battling Oni?
Hero - Hero, a non-collectible card game. A simple and good-looking dungeon-crawl game. Can be played with two players (one player for the adventurers, the other for the dungeon), or solo against the dungeon. There are three different decks, each containing a different dungeon, set of heroes and their equipment. The various decks can be mixed together to form unique dungeons or different adventuring teams.
Death Wears White - After much delay, the first Asmodee Murder Mystery will be released this summer. In the vein of the old "how to host a murder mystery" series, this is a game which doesn't quite take itself seriously - the authors used the best cliches and tropes of hospital-based soap operas to create their setting and characters. And while the game can be played in a serious, straight-faced manner, it's just begging to be played in an overblown, exaggerated manner. Can you guess who killed the doctor? Try the game, see if you could give Columbo a run for his money...
We should have these by Gencon, and we'll of course be demoing them there, along with the rest of our games.

Yes it has, sometime around March or April if my memory serves me right - it was I think the only planned release which made it out on time, everything else (Hero and Death Wears White) wound up getting pushed back...

That I don't know much more than what's been posted there, and that I'll definitely have more info by the time Gencon rolls around. It'll give you a good excuse to visit the Asmodee LLC booth...
