KARDS Roadmap Update
Dear KARDS players, friends, and WWII enthusiasts,
It is with great pleasure and excitement that we present the freshly updated KARDS roadmap. The roadmap is a regularly updated, high-level overview of the milestones and important events for KARDS. Keep in mind that this is a living document and that the events further in the future will receive more info as time passes by.
Without further ado, let’s have a look at what we can expect in the coming months!
Let’s go briefly over each item; more details will follow with separate blogs closer to the actual release dates.
[h2]June[/h2]
[h3]D-Day community event[/h3] Our first KARDS event with community-wide challenges! We are super excited about this event, which will span over several days. Relive the historic D-Day events with challenging (and rewarding) community-wide objectives and rewards.
[h3]Campaign Release (June 30th)[/h3] The long-awaited single-player campaign mode! Play through historical events, enjoy new cards, and face new challenges! Campaigns are an ongoing commitment;
we will add more content over time. The first five campaigns will arrive in late June.
[h2]August[/h2]
[h3]Mac client Release[/h3] Often requested and anticipated by many. The Mac version of KARDS will arrive in August!
[h3]Tournament Mode[/h3] After the highly successful World Championship last year, we open up tournaments to a broader audience. This is a great step forward towards a more competitive esports scene! We are thrilled to improve the tournament infrastructure to better support official, sponsored, and community-organized tournaments. Keep an eye out for more info soon!
[h2]Q4[/h2]
[h3]Squads[/h3] Support for team play! Band together and join your favorite squadron. This community-focused feature is exciting in itself; it also unlocks a whole new world such as team tournaments. Stay tuned for further details!
[h3]Winter expansion[/h3] This expansion is one of the two highlights this winter. Similar to our Allegiance expansion previous winter, expect to see new cards, game mechanics and nations!
[h3]World Championship Qualifier and Finals[/h3] The second highlight this winter next to the expansion is the KARDS World Championship! Similar to the previous World Championship, we will have qualifiers and then the actual tournament with a grand final. The qualification period has already started, check out the details!
[h2]2021[/h2]
[h3]Mobile version[/h3]
Highly anticipated, the mobile version for Android and iOS devices allows you to connect and play anywhere you want. Of course, you keep all your cards and your collection when using the mobile client - you have the full multi-platform experience! Initially scheduled for Q2 2020, we have moved the release of the mobile version to early 2021 as we want to have more time to develop and deliver a true triple-AAA experience on your mobile device. We don’t want to compromise quality for a rushed delivery that doesn’t pay justice to your (and our) expectations. We are still committed and very excited about the mobile version!
The roadmap is painted in broad strokes and shows only the tip of what we have planned. There are many more small features and improvements which will come along the road.
As you can see, the second half of 2020 is packed with KARDS excitement. We are kicking off the exciting period with the D-Day event in early June already.
The whole team is thrilled for the future and would love to hear your feedback! Join our first KARDS AMA on May 29th at 15:00 UTC and ask all the questions.
