In a move that should surprise absolutely no one, licensed versions of Vlaada Chvátil's Codenames have been announced, specifically Codenames Disney Family Edition, which will include characters and locations from a variety of Disney and Pixar films, and Codenames Marvel Edition, which will feature Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and characters from Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and other Marvel Comics properties.

These new versions of Codenames are coming solely to the North American market in Q4 2017, each with a $25 MSRP, thanks to an exclusive global licensing agreement that Czech Games Edition has signed with USAopoly, which has published a wide range of licensed games for more than two decades and which also has licenses with Nintendo, Warner Bros., Cartoon Network, HBO, FOX and CBS. In other words, feel free to dream up other versions of Codenames because those might be coming, too.
