October Newsletter: A Spooky Time Arrives
Greetings Rift Runners! In our last newsletter we chatted about the Past, Present, and Future of the game. We’re back here to discuss some of the future features that were teased, and talk about other things that weren’t previously discussed in the last newsletter!
(This is a work-in-progress mockup)
First and foremost, we’re excited to bring you Neverending Nightmares, a spooky alternate art pack arriving on the weekend of October 26th, just in time for Halloween! There’s five all new alternate arts for the following cards:
Here’s a quick rundown on the different Neverending Nightmare bundles. These will all be available for preorder starting this week. We've heard requests from players that it's too hard to collect full sets of platinum foils, so we made an item to purchase them directly. Additionally, since alt arts can't be opened in packs, we wanted to add a way to collect gold and gold foils of them as well.
Stay tuned this month for the reveals of the final art pieces - the images shown in the store and in this post are in-progress and will be subject to change.

Sezzadactyl is a talented digital artist, watercolorist, and streamer who we commissioned to produce the headline piece of Neverending Nightmares, Corrupted Celestial Dragon. She'll even be joining us for a special art-tastic Sanctuary Social on the 19th of October.
She's been streaming her creation of the piece over on her Twitch page, so be sure to check out those streams or VODs if you’re interested. You can find more of her excellent work here!
In this week's patch we’re changing a bit under the hood for how the game renders cards during gameplay.
The graphical performance of the game will be significantly improved, enabling the possibility to animate all cards on the field at the same time. Foil cards will now be a lot prettier as well, a long-awaited change we've shown off in the past.
We’re excited to bring you Ranked mode and In-Game Chat very soon! Campaigns and additional balance patches are also in-development and will follow afterwards.
We’re excited that we got a chance to deliver on some of the features we teased and we can’t wait to keep getting more done for you! We’ll see you next time in the next future newsletter when we have more features and updates to share with you.
As a reminder, all of this is made possible due to the continued support of players like you! Every card in Infinity Wars Classic is free and accessible for anyone to hop in and try, if you’ve enjoyed our game consider joining our Patreon if you haven’t already!
