Mistbound, The First Digital Card Game Set in the Guild Wars Universe, Announced

Guild Wars is heading into a different genre this time. The first digital collectible card game spin-off set in its universe is called Mistbound. Officially licensed by ArenaNet, developed by NC, and published globally by bilibili, it’s coming to Android and iOS.

Mistbound takes Guild Wars into deckbuilding, while still leaning heavily on the series’ established lore, artwork, and music. The game mixes single-player and multiplayer content and introduces a battlefield system that changes how cards interact compared to many traditional digital card games.

You take the role of a Commander and lead your forces on a 5 x 3 tactical grid. Mistbound revolves around Dynamic Movement Gameplay. You can reposition cards across the battlefield turn by turn, react to enemy movements, and alter your plans as matches unfold.

So, yes, Guild Wars is getting its first digital collectible card game through Mistbound

Both Commanders and units can move around the 5×3 grid, creating opportunities to outmanoeuvre opponents rather than simply overpower them.

There are mechanics such as knockbacks, pulls, flanking manoeuvres, and shifting between offensive and defensive positions. Commanders are not restricted to a passive support role either. They actively participate in battles and can influence the outcome of a match through their own abilities.

Familiar faces are returning as playable Commanders. They are from a Commander × Profession System inspired by Guild Wars 2’s nine long-standing professions. Each Commander comes with their own abilities, traits, and tactical identity.

The developers said that the project will also include contributions from original music creators alongside character-focused voice performances. On that note, check out the announcement trailer below.
