The title will launch first on PC in China via bilibili; a mobile version is planned and no global release date has been confirmed.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matches take place on a 5&#215;3 grid where unit placement combines with deck-building. Players assemble squads from Squad cards that represent professions such as Warrior, Mesmer, Necromancer and Ranger, each providing distinct roles and strengths in combat.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game introduces Commander units, leaders with passive traits and active abilities that influence board strategy. ArenaNet has named playable commanders including Trahearne, Nika and Knut Whitebear.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ArenaNet described single-player content alongside online PvP modes. The company did not provide a specific release date, pre-registration period or test schedule and indicated a wider international release has not been confirmed and could depend on the game&#8217;s reception in China.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MISTBOUND adapts Guild Wars classes and characters into a turn-based, board-focused format rather than the real-time MMORPG combat the series is known for. The project follows ArenaNet efforts to expand Guild Wars experiences across PC and mobile platforms.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ArenaNet announced MISTBOUND, a free-to-play Guild Wars tactical card battler that will launch first on PC in China via bilibili; a mobile release is planned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest"],"newsroom_tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MISTBOUND: Guild Wars Card Battler to Launch in China<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"ArenaNet and bilibili revealed MISTBOUND, a free-to-play Guild Wars card battler launching first on PC in China.
