Happy Wednesday, everyone!
With this midweek update, we wanted to alert you that Cooperative Multiplayer is now live! Join a friend or invite another player to jump into a cooperative match against the forces of Sauron.
You can connect to other players on your Steam or Asmodee.net Friends list as you quest together.
We hope you enjoy this new mode as we continue to evolve The Lord of the Rings™️: Living Card Game™️.
Core Set Pricing
We also wanted to let you know about our pricing for the upcoming Core Set. We are sunsetting the sale of the Founder's Club packs on February 8th. After that date, we will be offering The Core Set as your point fo entry into Middle-earth as a single premium game release in anticipation for leaving Early Access later in 2019.
The Core Set will be released at $18.99 (prices vary by territory- see your local Steam store for exact pricing).
Note that with the release of this Core Set, the original Shire, Steward of Gondor and Istari Founder’s Packs will no longer be available.
We'll be posting more details on The Core Set release soon, but all existing Founder's Pack owners will already have the Core Set contents plus the exclusives features and rewards associated with each level.
Expansion Pack Pricing
In addition, we wanted to let players know that we have premium DLC expansion packs coming in 2019. Each Expansion Pack will include a brand new Campaign with five harrowing new quests, 4 new heroes and 32 new player cards (2 each of 16 new cards).
Each pack will retail for $9.99 ((prices vary by territory- see your local Steam store for exact pricing).
We'll have more information about the first expansion pack, The Shadow's Fall in an upcoming post.
Encounters and Vault Releases
We will continue to have new free encounters coming down the road. These are unique quests that provide new challenges to your heroes and are accessible to all players who own The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game.
In addition, we will continue to provide new player cards to the Vault for all players to unlock.
For those players who bought the game at the Shire, Steward of Gondor and Istari Pack levels, you still have time to guarantee access to all of the Founder's Pack bonuses.
The Mithril Bundle allows you to upgrade to the Mitrhil level with the following unique Avatars, Player Tag Frames and Card Backs, as seen below:
