Are you ready to continue your epic gaming adventures in the Deep Sky Network? Whether you already started forging your legacy with us during our very successful alpha testing phase or you recently joined our community as an alpha tester, we are thrilled to commence the next phase, the private playtesting phase, together with you! We invite you to join another season of fun and riveting matches and take on the challenge to climb to the top of the leaderboard of Season // 0.1!

If you have not done so already, launch your EPIC games client and update to the latest version of our game. Once you read all about the juicy rewards awaiting the top ranks of our battleground Commanders this season, you will be wanting to dive right into battle!

On top of legendary rewards that await and all the quests that can earn you LOST tokens, there are plenty of exciting updates and changes coming with the new game build. Let’s have a look at them before we go into the details of this season’s rewards!

Earn XP And Use It To Reinforce Your Deck With New Profession Skills

The skill tree and experience points earned last season have been reset to enable a fair start for everyone! You will once again be able to level up your Commander skills in the professions skill tree. The XP that you earn from completing quests can be used to unlock new abilities for your Commander in the Deck Editor section. Level up your skill tree to unleash your full potential as a mighty battleground Commander with sensational powers and some aces up your sleeve! It is possible to mix and match all the skills in any way you want!

Get Lost Rewards for Participation in SEASON // 0.1

LOST tokens can be earned by completing weekly and monthly quests and can be used to purchase booster packs in our upcoming 5th GENESIS booster pack sale!

How GENESIS booster packs and Free to Play fit together

Our game will be free to play and there will be no pay to win as we are against unfair advantages. New players will start the game with about a 100 starter cards and will be able to unlock a good portion, but not all of the cards, through playing and progressing through the game. Rest assured that the selection of cards will enable players to compete without issues. As a company this is not only about monetisation but more importantly about providing an authentic experience. We think that it is important to have a true TCG experience and opening and hunting for cards is a fun and immensely rewarding aspect of it. It is especially fun to livestream your booster openings in The Lost Glitches community on our Discord and share the excitement with other members!

GENESIS booster pack sales give you the amazing opportunity to obtain GENESIS (think first edition) versions of the cards of our first set called memories. And even better, each GENESIS booster sale draws from only 40 cards, vastly increasing your chance to get all the cards you want. These sales are exclusive, limited and last for only 48h. After the window closes you will never be able to obtain the same cards with the GENESIS metadata again, unless you obtain them from secondary marketplaces such as TokenTrove. In comparison to the GENESIS boosters, there will also soon be an option to purchase booster packs of our first set Memories which contain ALL of the available cards, but without the GENESIS metadata on them.

Advanced Leaderboard Ranking System

Every battle in Season // 0.1 counts towards a player’s overall ranking in the leaderboard.  The new advanced leaderboard ranking system takes both players’ ranking into consideration and creates a more accurate and fair score. It takes a few matches until the ranking will be revealed.

Coin Toss

Which player starts is now chosen at random and determined by a coin toss.  The winner gets to choose whether or not they want to play first or not.

Fixed starting player advantage

It was already not possible to attack during the first turn in the last build. Now we added a one extra energy card for the second-turn player to be used at their own discretion during any turn of the battle.

The hand sizes are also asymmetric. The first player draws 4+1 cards, while the second player draws 5+1 (+extra energy card).

Improved Mulligan

We implemented a better mulligan, which does not add the cards back to deck before redrawing. This leads to a higher possibility to receive the cards you really want to start the game with!

New Gameplay Mechanic and Feature: De-Initialise Cards

A new and exciting gameplay mechanic has been added this season: De-Initialise Cards! The mechanic works for example if certain Glitches like the new Succubus strike another Glitch, or if you play Source Archer and activate it’s abilities or for example sacrifice 3 of your own Commanders health points in case of Crimson Siren.

There are also new damage spells like Taxman’s ability to inflict 1 damage to the opposing Commander for every Glitch they initialise.

Glitches like Deep Water Siren get powerful buffs whenever a Glitch gets de-initialised, regardless who it belongs to and It Follows gains +1/0 each time the opponent initialises a Glitch.

We are excited to see you experimenting with the new mechanic and tell us what you think about it. Who will be the first to build and share a powerful De-Initialisation deck?

More Cards To Play With And Add To Your Deck

New cards have been added, while others have undergone balancing or other slight changes. That means that there is even more room to experiment and build different decks with than before!

Better Card Editor Filters

You can now filter by Card Type, Syndicate and Subtype making it easier to have an overview of all available cards.

Visual & UX improvements

Among improvements like ambient mood lighting around the battlegrounds edges, the most striking change is a spectacular new player turn indication that has been added in the form of an animated chip going back and forth between the player’s avatar picture to indicate who’s attack turn it is.

Tutorial Update

A new section has been added to the tutorial to reflect the new rules regarding first turn combat.
