Gods Unchained is introducing new game modes.

Immutable offers new modes in Gods Unchained trading card game update

Web game company Immutable Games said its upcoming Formats update in Gods Unchained will offer players new rotating game modes in the blockchain trading card game.

Starting August 21, Gods Unchained players can refresh how they use their cards in a variety of Formats — rotating game modes that will each run for a limited time. The game launched on mobile devices on iOS and Android back in February after four years of development.

Each game mode will offer players the opportunity to face off with unique rules across numerous levels of competitive intensity. With different modes requiring strategic deck builds for old and new cards, players will experience fresh matches and an opportunity to revitalize their decks.

“With almost 2,000 cards already in Ranked, Gods Unchained has a huge playspace at the moment. Formats offers players, new and old, fresh ways to play with their collection, bringing forward new metas and reviving old ones. This is where we see the future of competitive GU,” said Gods Unchained game designer, Bryn Welch, in a statement.

Players can also earn rewards for their achievements, with opportunities to accumulate additional rewards through a Bonus Multiplier and for playing bonus games. 

“Formats lets players flex their creativity and immerse themselves more deeply into the rich lore and beautiful illustrations of Gods Unchained through their deck building. I am excited to see the spotlight shine on card art and characters that may have been previously overshadowed amidst the usual meta. I can’t wait to see the creativity players will bring to Formats,” said Claudia Skinner, creative game Designer for Gods Unchained, in a statement.  

GU’s permanent Formats, Ranked and Sealed, remain unchanged, with the latter refreshed with new cards for a new competitive experience. With new game modes of varying levels of difficulty, players will be drawn into expanded realms within the ominous world of Eucos.

During battles, they will strategize on how they can leverage game mechanics—rethinking how they maximize their power through deck building— to restore cosmic order in ways beyond what is presently possible. 

With Formats, Immutable is refining the structure of web3 gaming, and creating a more competitive environment for TCG players to enter or re-engage.

Led by Chris Clay (former game director of Magic The Gathering Arena), Gods Unchained is enjoyed daily by a loyal community of trading card OGs and web3 enthusiasts alike.

Immutable Games is guided by its mission to redefine gaming for generations to come, by developing innovative and engaging experiences that empower players with true ownership, value, and creative expression.
