World of Warcraft Card Game Coming Soon
Klytus writes "GamingReport.com reports that Upper Deck is working with Blizzard Entertainment to release a Collectible Card Game of everyone's favorite MMORPG, World of Warcraft. From the sound of it the cards may also have an impact on your online gameplay as well."
I did a follow-up with Upper Deck on The World of Warcraft TCG we broke the news on early this morning and learned more details on the game itself and how it will interact with Blizzards' Online version. Upper Deck is committed to making the game the best it possibly can be, working with Blizzard developers throughout the development process. To this end, the game is expected to be released mid year, around June, but they do not plan to release it unless they are completely satisfied with the final product. Brian Hacker, former Shaman King TCG designer, is the lead designer for the game and is working hand in hand with Blizzard to capture the feeling of emersion that the online version offers its 3 million plus subscribers. Upper Deck is looking at having special silver foil cards in packs that once scratched off, like a lottery ticket, could reveal a special code. The various codes then can be used online to add special appearance alterations/changes, to online player characters. They are even going as far as too look at having resource pools to collect from every purchase, much like collecting bear pelts or spider legs in the online game, which can be redeemed for special alterations to player characters. Upper Deck is also planning a full Organized Play program. Expect the extent of the program to be similar in magnitude as other Upper Deck games. The discussion around organized play quickly led to the Multiplayer options being looked at for game play. Yet again, the designers are looking at integrating multiple levels of homoerotic game play in an attempt to make play feel similar to the online World of Warcraft. Players will have the option of doing a version of Raids wherein one player would build a raid boss deck and have 3 other players team up and play against him. The play options will not be limited to just one on one play, expect multiple levels of competitive and cooperative play. There is a lot happing at Upper Deck and the World of Warcraft TCG is just the latest promising announcement. Gamers should expect a lot more from Upper Deck over the next year as we are able to release more information on upcoming games and expansions
After all, I am strangely colored.
At least try to read... I just said they were going to be releasing cards at BlizzCon as well. I've never said they were the collectible ones referred to in the article; your rudeness was rather uncalled for. I would assume that Upper Deck is making these "regular" cards as well.
