WOTC cannot snuff out fair competition with frivolous infringement assertions.įurther, we ask that you respect the duties and obligations of the HEX team members during this time. While IP rights are important, so is fair competition. Many TCGs can, and do, coexist consistent with any IP rights WOTC might have. We respect intellectual property rights, but the right to make a TCG is not exclusive to WOTC. As a small company, the daunting task of defending ourselves from the bullying of a much larger corporation is difficult, but we are committed to HEX: Shards of Fate and ultimately we will prevail. Its digital only nature allows it to push the boundaries in ways a traditional paper TCG never could. HEX: Shards of Fate is a digital only MMO-TCG that attempts to innovate what a digital trading card game can be. We do not expect this frivolous legal action to impact our efforts to deliver a compelling and entertaining game experience to our customers. The complaint alleges various similarities between HEX: Shards of Fate and Magic: The Gathering.Īlthough we take all pending litigation seriously, we do not find any merit to the allegations in the complaint.

Well, much to my surprise, the answer is absolutely nothing! Naturally there is a bunch of cards you're probably going to want to collect and/or purchase, it is a card game after all, but the major portions of this update appear to be completely free for everyone to enjoy. Given the size of this update, and the fact that Hex: Shards of Fate is a card game, I'm sure you're now wondering how much is this going to set you back. If you're interested in learning a little bit more about the whole update, but more specifically about the lore behind this new campaign, then you should probably check out the most recent trailer. In order to further this goal the developers have recently released a rather massive updated titled Chronicles of Entrath: Chapter 2, which brought with it a ~40 hour long story campaign, a new playable class, as well as a variety of other minor changes.
For those of you that might not be aware, Hex: Shards of Fate is a Magic: The Gathering inspired card game that's trying to combine the best aspects of TCGs and story focused RPGs.
