Summary
Mistbound brings Guild Wars into the CCG genre with a free-to-play release planned for PC and mobile, though no launch window or card-monetization details were disclosed.
A 5x3 battlefield and multi-direction card movement are central to the design, enabling flanking, repositioning and knockbacks in turn-based matches.
ArenaNet licensed the IP to bilibili for publishing, while Korean studio NC is developing the game in an unusual three-company partnership.
Single-player and PvP modes will feature Guild Wars characters as commanders, each with passive and active abilities tied to Guild Wars 2 profession-inspired identities.
The reveal extends ArenaNet's broader Guild Wars push after Guild Wars 3 was announced earlier this month, while leaving open whether Mistbound will avoid pay-to-win concerns.
