The virtual world of gaming is about to get a whole lot more exciting with the latest news from Cards & Tankards, a free-to-play social VR card game. This title, crafted by the creative minds at Divergent Realities, is gearing up to launch a brand-new expansion this month, promising to elevate the gameplay experience to new heights.
For those who may not be familiar, Cards & Tankards is a dynamic social collectible card game that’s accessible on both traditional screens and through immersive VR headsets. The developers have announced the arrival of the ‘Ashes of Ur-Enku’ expansion, which is set to bring a host of fresh content. Players can look forward to discovering 50 innovative new cards, admiring the artistry of diamond animated variants, exploring a plethora of new cosmetic options, and delving into a refreshed season pass. Additionally, this expansion will introduce balancing tweaks and a reset for ranked play, ensuring a well-rounded and competitive gaming environment.
The narrative of this expansion takes players into the wild territories of Ur-Enku, where the bold Plundering Guild embarks on a risky venture. Their mission? To master the forbidden art of fire-hunting, uncovering ancient Dwarven archives long hidden beneath thick layers of untamed nature. These archives reveal experiments with Aether, a primordial force of great power. Adventure and peril await as only one intrepid explorer will make it back unscathed, the studio shared with enthusiasm.
Since its initial release nearly two years ago, Cards & Tankards has been consistently enriched with updates. The last big change came in December with Version 2.4, bringing crucial fixes, while Version 2.3, which landed earlier, tackled the rebalancing of over half the game’s cards. Fans of the game will also recall the ‘Crusade of Sun & Stone’ expansion that made waves last March, coupled with the introduction of a ‘Ranked Mode’ at the close of 2023.
For those eager to dive in, Cards & Tankards is readily available on platforms like Meta Quest, Steam, and Google Play. Mark your calendars for March 27, when the Ashes of Ur-Enku expansion will be ready for players to get their hands on and explore.
