Just a few weeks ago, Guild Wars 3 was announced. Fans of the MMORPG can look forward to another online game where you complete dynamic map battles.
What kind of new game is this? ArenaNet has announced a new card game for Guild Wars in collaboration with NC. The new title is named “Mistbound” and is supposed to offer players a new way to play together.
The head of ArenaNet, Colin Johanson, states:
We believed it was time to offer ‘Guild Wars’ fans a new way to play together, inspired by the card game roots of the series, where they can compete against each other in a competitive PvP arena in a collectible card game environment. All the experiences they love – the characters, the creatures, and the sounds of the world of Tyria – will come to life in the collectible card game.
The Chinese equivalent of YouTube, Bilibili, is also supposed to be involved. There is currently no release date, so it may take several months or even years before the title is released.
By the roots of a card game, Johanson means that Guild Wars was originally inspired by the card game Magic: The Gathering. In particular, the character attributes that can be modified would have originated from that.
Dynamic card game with constant movements
What is special about it? Cards placed once can also be moved in later rounds. There is a 5×3 grid area where you can reposition your units and the Commander each round, depending on what the opponent did before.
This is intended to make the complexity of card games like Magic a bit more intuitive. NC itself calls this system Dynamic Movement Gameplay. The complexity is not supposed to come from individual cards, but from the battlefield.
There are also supposed to be various mechanics, such as flanking or pushes. Familiar characters from Guild Wars should be able to enter the battlefield and bring unique abilities with them.
