PHAGEBORN online card game News

Hey everyone,

We are finally ready to make the long overdue announcement of the release date for Phageborn Online Card Game and we are proud to announce it will be entering Early Access on the 30th of January, 2020!

We had to overcome certain unforeseen hurdles that appeared along the way which hindered our plans to release it in the summer timeframe we've originally announced. Since Phageborn Online Card Game is our passion project and a labor of love, there is no hurdle we won't overcome to get it finished at the level of quality we want it to be and to release it for everyone to enjoy!

Now that we've tested out the game and assessed how much time we need for further development and promotion for the game, we are finally ready to announce, with confidence, a concrete and specific release date for Phageborn Online Card Game!

We are very excited to share this info and we would like to say a big 'Thank you' to the entirety of our fanbase for supporting us along the way and for their patience and understanding. The help we received from you by means of your suggestions and bug reports in the Closed Technical Beta tests we've been having for some time now will prove invaluable in our mission to deliver a game you won't want to let go off :)

We won't be resting easy! Expect a lot more exciting surprises such as tournaments, prizes and events as we'll be nearing the release of the game and we'll also be having an open beta for the game which will run longer than the Closed Beta tests we are having. The next couple of months will be a real treat for the old and new Phageborn fans!

Join us this weekend (12th and 13th of October) for the 2v2 beta where you'll have a chance to win a free copy of the game and to try one of the most exciting
modes the card game genre has to offer!

See you on the battlefields of Issilith!

Hey everyone!

Here at the studio, we're very excited that we'll finally get the chance play some 2v2 with you guys next weekend, on the 12th and 13th of October.

That's why we wanted to additionally celebrate the occasion with a contest that will reward your meticulous deckbuilding efforts!

WHAT KIND OF CONTEST? WHAT'S THE PRIZE?

We love it when we see our fans post carefully crafted decklists on our Discord server, alongside an explanatory description with the pros and cons of it. We would love to see more of that and what better time to have a contest like this than next weekend's 2v2 beta.

That's why we decided to reward three of the best Phageborn players and their decks with a copy of Phageborn Online Card Game once it enters Early Access!

THAT'S COOL! WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO WIN?

1. Join our Official Phageborn Discord server: https://discord.gg/WKHXBWM
2. Play the 2v2 beta and familiarize yourself with the game
3. Once you're convinced you've created a mighty and well rounded deck, go to the #deckbuilding channel on the server
4. Once there, post a screenshot of your deck with the Avatar your using and write a description of your deck (what kind of deck is it, for which playstyle, its pros and cons, etc...)

Example:



WAIT, WHO DECIDES WHICH DECKLIST IS THE BEST?!

Our three person commitee comprised of game designers and other developers from our studio will determine the top three decklists. They'll review all of the entries and reach a consensus on the names of those which will be rewarded with a free copy of the game and whose names will be sang all across the ruined world of Issilith!

WHEN CAN I POST MY DECK AND WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THE RESULTS?

All decklists posted during the 2v2 beta will be eligible for winning the prize! We'll announce the winners on monday (14th of October).

That's all there is to it. Sign up for the 2v2 beta here: http://eepurl.com/gl3qfr and if you need more information on it, check out the announcement post here.

Make sure to keep a close eye to our Steam page and other social media channels for all news on the game, the beta and everthing in general!

See you in the beta and good luck with the contest!

We're pleased to announce that we'll be testing out our much anticipated 2v2 multiplayer mode in the next closed technical beta!

WAIT, PHAGEBORN HAS A 2v2 MODE!?

Indeed! Phageborn's 2v2 mode is where the complexity and depth of Phageborn is combined with the need for strategic teamplay. Teammates who manage to successfully cooperate by amplifying the strengths and mitigating the weaknesses of one another greatly increase their chances of victory.

WHEN IS IT TAKING PLACE

The 2v2 beta will be taking place on the 12th and 13th of October, starting at:

10:00 am CEST
08:00 am GMT
04:00 am ET
01:00 am PT
