4. The Lost Glitches
Developer: Honig Studios
Genre: Card / RPG
Platforms: PC
The Lost Glitches blends the strategic complexity of a collectible card game (CCG) with the immersive narrative and character development of a role-playing game (RPG). In the Lost Glitches world called the Deep Sky, players align with one of the game's Syndicates, crafting personalized decks to engage in tactical battles. Victories on the battlefield not only increase a player's character experience but also award $LOST tokens, which can be used to enhance character abilities and gear.
5. Might and Magic Fates
Developer: Ubisoft
Genre: Fantasy Trading Card Game
Platforms: PC (in development)
Might & Magic Fates is a free-to-play strategic trading card game set in Ubisoft’s legendary Might & Magic universe. Co-developed with Immutable, it’s coming to iOS and Android with full cross-play and cross-platform support. Players can build powerful decks, command iconic heroes, and take part in tactical battles where every move counts. The game blends fast-paced dueling with deep deck-building freedom, allowing you to experiment with multiple playstyles and factions without being locked into a single path.
While the game focuses on competitive skill-based play, it also features an optional Web3 layer in eligible regions, enabling card trading through Immutable’s marketplace. This feature is entirely optional and does not provide a competitive advantage.
