Might & Magic Duel of Champions Announces New Expansion
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
April 9, in the year of our Lord 2014 -- Today,Ubisoft®
revealed the new expansion, Heart of Nightmares, for the online
strategy card game Might & Magic® Duel of Champions. Heart of
Nightmares is the largest and most important expansion to date,
bringing in new heroes, a new base set, 100 new cards and new
features including puzzles, which expand possibilities on the
battleground.
Duel with six new heroes
One new hero for each of the six factions has been introduced,
each with different powers that require new strategies on the
battleground. Our players are quick to adapt and learn the best
way to defeat opponents with the cards in their deck, so we are
continuing to give players new hero options to keep the game
fresh. Each new hero requires players to learn their strengths
and weaknesses, shifting their strategy in order to play or
defeat them. said Samuel Jobin, Producer of Might & Magic Duel
of Champions.
A new base set, Base Set 2
The game has developed and continued to grow over the past year
and this new base set helps rebalance the meta-game in Might &
Magic® Duel of Champions. We wanted to make the game easier for
new players, helping them move from the tutorial mode to duels
with less hesitation continued Jobin. Players can now choose
from two game formats, the first is standard format, which is
the official game format for competition, and features cards
from Base Set 2 and all upcoming series. The second format is an
open format that applies to all the cards released prior and in
to this expansion.
The most important update since launch
As requested by players, solo campaigns have been extended to a
total of 30 missions. Puzzles also add another solo experience
where players have to use complex game mechanics in order to
zero an enemys health in only one turn. A new ranking and
matchmaking system with classes will replace the ELO system
which has shown some inconsistencies in the past. The game
economy has also been reviewed and new series will be more
accessible as they can now be purchased with gold earned in-game
a few weeks after they are launched. Additionally, all menus
have been redesigned and new visual effects have been added to
the battleground.
