Immutable, a global leader in web3 game development and publishing, has announced the release of "Formats" in Gods Unchained (GU), a web3 trading card game (TCG). Starting August 19th, players will be able to refresh their gameplay with rotating game modes, each available for a limited time. These new modes will provide unique rules and varying levels of competitive intensity, offering a dynamic environment for both new and experienced players to explore.

“With almost 2,000 cards already in Ranked, Gods Unchained has a huge playspace at the moment. Formats offers players, new and old, fresh ways to play with their collection, bringing forward new metas and reviving old ones. This is where we see the future of competitive GU,” stated Bryn Welch, Game Designer for Gods Unchained.

Introducing Formats for Deck Building

Each game mode within Formats will challenge players to build strategic decks with a mix of old and new cards, ensuring fresh and engaging matches. Players will also have the opportunity to earn rewards for their achievements, with additional bonuses available through a Bonus Multiplier and by participating in bonus games.

Claudia Skinner, Creative Game Designer for Gods Unchained, commented: “Formats lets players flex their creativity and immerse themselves more deeply into the rich lore and beautiful illustrations of Gods Unchained through their deck building. I am excited to see the spotlight shine on card art and characters that may have been previously overshadowed amidst the usual meta. I can’t wait to see the creativity players will bring to Formats.”

The permanent game modes in Gods Unchained, Ranked and Sealed, remain unchanged, though Sealed will be refreshed with new cards to provide a new competitive experience. These new game modes will draw players into expanded realms within the world of Eucos, where they will strategize on leveraging game mechanics and maximizing their power through deck building to restore cosmic order in innovative ways.
