What We’re Building Next in Wildcard

[p][/p][p]Wild Ones,[/p][p]
Thank you so much for bringing your joy, passion, and creativity to our Early Access launch! We’ve been listening closely to your feedback and wanted to share what we’re actively working on to address the top community concerns. Though our team is small, we’ve set aggressive goals and timelines to improve your experience playing Wildcard.[/p][p][/p][p]Here are some of the things we are currently working on:[/p][p]1. Lobbies Enabled[/p][p]Many of you have requested this feature, and guess what? This one is actually already done! Friends and livestream viewers alike can join you in the arena. With your lobby code in hand, feel free to run your own community events, tournaments, and WILD matchups![/p][p][/p][p]2. Smart Queue System[/p][p]Let’s say goodbye to stompy matches. Adios! Our team is improving the queue system so that players can find more balanced matches. New players face bots first, gradually increasing in difficulty, then transition naturally into matches with real players. We’re determined to keep matches fair, fun, and competitive for everyone.[/p][p][/p][p]3. Bot Improvements [/p][p]Bots are getting a serious upgrade. Expect smarter pathing, better use of abilities and summons, and scaling difficulty tiers that actually feel meaningful. Whether you’re learning or practicing, bots will now provide a much better gameplay experience.[/p][p][/p][p]4. New Progression Systems[/p][p]We’ve heard you love Wildcard - but we know you want more of it! Progression is getting a full rework. We will be adding broader systems for account progression and per-Champion progression, giving players more reasons and rewards to keep playing their favorite Champions or try out a new one![/p][p][/p][p]5. Ranked & Leaderboards[/p][p]Our intention has always been to add ranked play to Wildcard - we know you, competitive players, want a place to sweat it out for glory! Exact dates for this feature are dependent on further improvements, but in the meantime, we’re adding leaderboards that celebrate top performance AND offer rewards for progress. Whether you’re chasing wins, style, or mastery, there’ll be a place to show it off.[/p][p]
[/p][p]6. More Events![/p][p][/p][p]During Wildcard Game Nights on Wednesday and Friday, you will only face off against other players and will receive 10X the fame during these windows![/p][p][/p][p]7. New Player Experience[/p][p]Adding to the success of our new intro videos, we’ll be updating the onboarding flow so new players can more easily master the fundamentals, understand what makes Wildcard unique, and feel set up for success from their first moments in the arena. [/p][p][/p][p]8. Summon Learning Scenarios[/p][p]We’re adding an interactive learning mode to introduce players to each base summon. You’ll face them 1-on-1, learn their abilities, then unlock that summon for your decks. It’s a hands-on way to learn and collect as you play.[/p][p][/p][p]9. The Trials[/p][p]Once all Summon Learning Scenarios are complete, a brand-new mode unlocks: The Trials.
Team up with friends to take on waves of enemies, test your strategies, and push your limits together. More details to come as we get closer, but it’s already shaping up to be one of our most replayable and stream-friendly modes yet.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you all again for joining us on this journey![/p][p][/p][p]The Wildcard community has been the backbone of this project since day one. Your support, feedback, and love for the game keep us building, improving, and dreaming bigger. These updates are all aimed at making sure you can play reliably, learn clearly, and grow endlessly within Wildcard.[/p][p][/p][p]Stay tuned, the next few weeks are going to be exciting!
We’ll see you in the arena! [/p][p]— The Wildcard Team[/p][p]
