In August, We announced the upcoming release of Star Wars: The Card Game, a Living Card Game based on the original Star Wars trilogy. Today, we would like to share an update on its development.
Fantasy Flight Games’ current catalog of LCGs offers a variety of exceptional and unique gameplay experiences, with the LCG format among our most successful publishing categories. With this in mind, we want to make sure that Star Wars: The Card Game features a truly groundbreaking LCG play experience.
The game we showed off at Gen Con 2011 would have been a strong addition to our LCG catalog. However, as we were making the final touches to the product, we came to the realization that while it was a good game, it simply was not the greatest, most engaging game experience that FFG could deliver. So, we made a difficult decision and went back to the drawing board on the Star Wars: The Card Game design.
How will this affect the release date?
We are currently expecting to publish Star Wars: The Card Game worldwide just before the 2012 holidays. That said, it can be difficult to predict when the creative process will end, so this date should be taken as an estimate.
While we are disappointed that our original estimated release date will not be met, we are sure that our players would agree that our decision to delay Star Wars: The Card Game was the best one. We are absolutely confident that with the extra time this affords us, Star Wars: The Card Game will become one of FFG’s greatest products ever.
