Upper Deck has announced the release of their new original Trading Card Game, Rush of Ikorr, launching on June 11th.
Rush of Ikorr redefines the TCG experience combining epic 3 vs. 3 (multiplayer) battles with elements of card customization under the veil of ancient mythologies. These aspects combine to create a new TCG experience offering remarkable strategic depth in both deck building and game strategy.
While other trading card games on the market are strictly competitive in nature and focus on one player battling another, Rush of Ikorr pushes beyond this standard gameplay format and is designed to be primarily enjoyed as a six-player team battle. With 3 vs. 3, the TCG becomes similar to an eSport where each player within the team has their own role as they collectively battle the opposing team. Rather than solely competing, players can also focus on how to support their allies, with each player building their deck around the different aspects of the game experience – a unique element that has never been seen in the TCG community.
Card customization is achieved through Upper Deck’s Infusion Cards, which are clear overlay cards that offer unique deck-building customization. With these Infusion Cards, Rush of Ikorr players can transform their Champion Cards to assume new abilities and traits. With 2,740 different card combinations, gameplay outcome possibilities become endless, which keeps the game fresh and exciting.
Each Rush of Ikorr Starter Deck comes with three Infusion Cards, with a total of 45 Infusion Cards available across the complete first iteration of the game. As these cards will be a hot commodity within the gameplay, the rare and super rare editions are anticipated to be a key focus for those who enjoy the trading card chase.
Rush of Ikorr: Act I, Part 1 “Shattered Chaos” is releasing with four starter decks: Olympian Thunder, Moonlit Magic, Stunning Presence, and Pharaoh’s Command. Each Starter Deck includes 54 cards with three Infusion Cards and an exclusive Foil Variant Avatar Card.
