Universus CCG, the popular trading card game, has joined forces with Kodansha to bring the globally acclaimed manga series to life through a brand-new booster set titled Attack on Titan: Battle for Humanity. Scheduled for release on August 16, 2024, this exciting collaboration promises to captivate both seasoned Universus players and Attack on Titan fans alike.
The cornerstone of the expansion lies in its stunning card art. Deviating from their previous style, UVS Games has opted for reimagined artwork directly from the Attack on Titan manga. This means players can expect to see their favorite characters like Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and Levi Ackerman brought to life and capture the emotions and intensity of the source material. This innovative approach not only caters to existing Attack on Titan fans but also adds a distinct visual identity to the expansion, setting it apart from previous Universus CCG releases.
This thematic integration ensures that the gameplay experience not only mirrors the narrative but also evokes the same emotions of adrenaline and suspense felt while reading the manga. But the visual overhaul is just the beginning. Attack on Titan: Battle for Humanity delves deeper into the thematic core of the manga, translating the thrilling battles, desperate struggles, and complex relationships between characters into engaging gameplay mechanics.
To cater to different player preferences, the expansion will offer a variety of entry points. Newcomers can jump into the action with the “Clash Decks” featuring Mikasa and Levi, each providing pre-constructed decks focused on specific strategies.
These decks offer a streamlined way to learn the game mechanics and dive into the world of Attack on Titan without overwhelming complexity. For experienced players seeking a competitive edge, the “Challenger Series” featuring Eren will offer a powerful deck packed with sought-after cards, allowing them to test their skills against worthy opponents.
UVS Games understands the importance of community building and player engagement. To ensure a smooth transition and generate excitement ahead of the August release, they have planned a series of demo events starting in May. Demo kits featuring Attack on Titan-themed decks and updated demo scripts will be available in May. These kits will equip local game stores with the necessary tools to host demo events and introduce players to the core mechanics and gameplay before the main set release.
