Valve advances several details of the new version of its card game with the aim of revitalizing its community of players; testing phase on the way
Artifact, Valve's commitment to the genre of strategy and cards in the purest Hearthstone style has not finished working as expected, bringing together a community of players much smaller than expected by its creators. For this reason, its managers recently announced the intention to relaunch the title as a version 2.0 with important changes. Now, Valve have presented many of these upcoming news along with the announcement of a new phase of closed beta.
First details of Artifact 2.0
Thus, from Valve they have already confirmed the celebration of a new testing phase of what will be Artifact 2.0, on dates still to be specified and which will be accessible to all those players who bought the title from its launch until this month of March.
On the other hand, its managers have already anticipated some of these news of the Artifact restart, starting with the letters, which will no longer be paid, even withdrawing the option to buy envelopes. In addition, the new Hero Selection mode will be added, a new gateway for novice players to start building their own decks.
In this sense, cards can only be obtained through games; Of course, for the moment it has not been confirmed if Artifact 2.0 will continue with its same payment business model or will go to free to play, like many other titles in the genre. As an added detail, it will also be possible to zoom in on the three main sections of the dashboard.
Last but not least, the decks from the original version of Artifact cannot be used in the new version of the title, since the vast majority of them have either been changed or removed from the game. We look forward to hearing more details about Artifact 2.0 and its next testing phase in the coming weeks.
