PlayFusion and Games Workshop’s hugely successful trading card game Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Champions is now out on Nintendo Switch. Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Champions is the first of its kind TCG genre game on the console and it brings with it true cross-play.
Players can play between digital and physical versions as they can scan their physical cards into their digital collection to claim and use them in-game battles. Players will be able to harness the custom crafted decks from one of the four Grand Alliances and challenge their friends and opponents from across the world and platforms.
Players on Nintendo Switch can also play with players on Steam and mobile devices. The Nintendo Switch version comes with both Joy-Con and touch screen support and will allow players to battle on the go or in their homes. CEO and Co-Founder PlayFusion, Mark Gerhard said:
The response for the physical and digital game has already been incredible, and we just can’t wait to watch that grow to new heights. With the upcoming release of our Set 3 cards in Savagery, and a whole heap of new features like Arena of Echoes and Realm Trials, there’s always going to be something new to try. And now, there will be a much bigger community to try with.
Along with these added features, the Nintendo Switch version is also arriving with a brand new huge Singleplayer adventure Realm Trails. It will offer dozens of hours of content to players who will fight legendary battles to conquer the Mortal Realms. It also ships with a brand new way to battle in the new mode, Arena of Echoes.
In this brand new mode, players will draft their own custom deck from 2 given alliances and battle through a series of League rounds to gain entry to the prize Gauntlet. Winning will allow players to move on to higher ranks however losing battles with lower their rank and players will need to battle and win to claim their ranks back.
Both of these brand new modes will join a series of narrative campaigns, multiple game modes such as Ranked and Casual play as well as seasonal leaderboards and challenges. All this content is surely going to keep any TCG genre fan busy for hours and hours as they battle friends and foes from around the world.
