HEX Update – Shattered Destiny December 9th *Updated*

The second set for HEX: Shards of Fate is coming!

Hi HEXers. This week, we have some huge announcements so let’s get to it!

Shattered Destiny – Coming December 9th

We are very close to putting the finishing touches on Shattered Destiny and have targeted November 32nd for its release. The second set from HEX: Shards of Fate introduces new gameplay, strategies, and over 200 more cards for players to collect, sell, buy, and trade.

The Underworld is attacking from below with the new keyword Tunneling. Dwarves and Shin’hare dig deep underneath the surface of Entrath and surprise opponents with quick attacks and powerful abilities when they surface. All other races have new troops, and each shard has new actions to take your deck to a new level.

December 9th? We wanted to release it in November, but we didn’t want to have players reschedule their VIP weekend time to release Shattered Destiny, nor did we want to release it on a holiday weekend. So, this is the best date for the players.

And with that, Shattered Destiny previews begin November 24th! We will have preview articles, streams, and videos published daily on HEXTCG.com, Twitch, the Gameforge HEX homepage, and our fan community websites. You can see the new cards and how they’ll help improve your decks and beat your opponents.

Release Celebration – Friday, December 12th to Monday, December 15th

To mark the launch of Shattered Destiny, we are holding a Release Celebration weekend. Players will be able to obtain two exclusive alternate art cards from the new set available in special Release Celebration 8-player tournaments in both Booster Draft and Sealed Deck.

Participation Card: Darkspire Punisher Alternate Art

Prize Card: Filk Ape Alternate Art

These tournaments start that Friday at 10 AM Pacific [Worldclock] and end at 10 AM Pacific that Monday, so make sure to log in and take your shot at the prize!
