MISTBOUND Officially Revealed, Determined to Redefine the Card Game Series

When the famous MMORPG Guild Wars suddenly “pivoted” to the tactical card universe, the Mobile and PC arenas prepared to receive a seismic shift called MISTBOUND.

For loyal followers of the online role-playing game series, the name Guild Wars created by ArenaNet since 2005 has become an immortal symbol thanks to its vast fantasy setting, century-scale PvE and PvP battles and a deep character class system.

While the heat of this brand has not cooled down, giant ArenaNet surprised the entire gaming community when joining hands with NC Corporation and China’s leading publishing platform – bilibili – to announce a free-to-play project called MISTBOUND: Guild Wars Card Game.

This is not only a new chapter expanding this legendary universe to both PC and Mobile platforms, but also a bold step in translating the entire essence of a great MMORPG game into a strategic card battle style.

Entering the world of the game MISTBOUND, players will be reunited with the familiar Tyria continent but under a completely new lens, where matches are no longer about frantic attacks but take place on a 5×3 fantasy chessboard. From there, the game turns into a real magical chess board, where thinking about the strategic position of each card on the field plays a life-or-death role equivalent to building a perfect deck of cards before the match.

Gamers will personally build battle squads based on the characteristic sects that have made the game series famous such as the mighty Warrior, the illusory Mesmer, the dark Necromancer or the marksman Ranger, with each character class bringing a unique style of approach to the match and unique strengths that cannot be replaced.

The most valuable highlight that helps the game MISTBOUND arouse curiosity is the appearance of Command units – supreme leaders possessing unique intrinsic attributes and activated skill sets capable of turning the situation around in just one turn.

Legendary faces that have been associated with the memories of millions of gamers such as the heroic Trahearne, the sharp Nika or the powerful Knut Whitebear will all return with sophisticated card designs, designed based on inspiration from the original skill system of Guild Wars 2. The game promises to satisfy both gamers who like to chew through the plot alone through single-player modes and those who love challenges in fiery PvP matches full of variables.

Although the global release plan is still a mystery being considered by ArenaNet based on market feedback, MISTBOUND will initially be exclusively sponsored by bilibili and launched as soon as possible in the billion-dollar Chinese market on the PC platform.

In the context that its cousin Guild Wars Reforged is also preparing to land on the mobile platform, experts believe that the day MISTBOUND officially expands globally and covers smartphone application stores will not be far away, turning this game into a name that must be on the watch list of those who love the top mind-fighting game series.
