Greetings from the Shadowverse Team!

The time has come for us to announce that we will be ending service for Shadowverse at 7:00 p.m., June 30, 2026 (PT). All of us on the Shadowverse Team would like to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us throughout the years.

Shadowverse launched on June 17, 2016, as a spin-off of Rage of Bahamut, but quickly took on a life of its own. Over the course of a decade, the game grew and evolved in countless ways, from the introduction of Portalcraft and the Rotation and Unlimited formats, to the addition of the Take Two and Cross Craft game modes. Along the way, we released over 5,000 cards across 32 card sets, collaborated with various beloved games and franchises, and brought to life 20 epic story chapters featuring an original and lovable cast of heroes.

With your continued support, Shadowverse was able to grow far beyond its origins. Our foray into esports was made possible thanks to our fans, culminating in several large-scale tournaments, most notably the World Grand Prix series—international tournaments that boasted grand prizes of 100 million yen. It also gave rise to a number of spin-offs, including the physical card game Shadowverse: Evolve, the Nintendo Switch game Shadowverse: Champion's Battle, and the Shadowverse and Shadowverse Flame animated series.

Though the original Shadowverse will conclude after a ten-year run, its legacy will continue through Shadowverse: Evolve and its direct successor, Shadowerse: Worlds Beyond. To commemorate the three remaining months of Shadowverse, we've planned a variety of events. For more information, please refer to the following announcement.

Once again, the Shadowverse Team is incredibly grateful for all the love and support our fans have shown us over the years. As we cherish these final months of service, we would be honored if you could share your favorite memories of Shadowverse with us on social media.

Thank you for playing Shadowverse.

We’ve just passed the half-way point of 2018, so Ian Gatekeeper and all his fabulously wealthy chums over at Valve have revealed which hundred games have sold best on Steam over the past six months. It’s a list dominated by pre-2018 names, to be frank, a great many of which you’l

Wot I Think: Shadowverse

The crappiest common cards in Shadowverse look better than the best legendary cards in most of the collectible card games I’ve played, so you can imagine what Shadowverse’s legendaries look like. They are stupidly, irresponsibly beautiful. Dragons with uncountable glistening scal

Artifact feels like Valve s solution to post-Hearthstone card games

Collectible card games have been around for decades, but they’ve really been running hot ever since Blizzard unleashed Hearthstone four years ago. Since then, we’ve seen Shadowverse , Gwent , The Elder Scrolls: Legends , Duelyst , Faeria – there are a lot of these things, if you
