Vertigo Games, the studio behind Arizona Sunshine (2016) and Skyworld (2017), have teamed up with Vive Studios to create a new VR card-battler dubbed Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl.
The studios say the game will be available on HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Windows VR headsets, Vive Focus—with full cross-platform support—on April 2nd, 2019. Support for HTC’s newly announced 6DOF standalone headset Vive Focus Plus is said to come later this year.
Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl, like many card-based battle games, lets you collect, unlock, and upgrade cards to build a deck, although the creators say you’ll also be able to “watch your cards come to life as you cast spells and summon forces to wipe your enemy off the map.” In Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl you’ll also be able to join a clan, play in regular online tournaments, and post your high score on a worldwide leaderboard.
Check out the list of features mentioned on the game’s official website:
