A completely unique gaming experience, HEX: Shards of Fate was created from the ground up as a digital trading card game, free from the restrictions that come from being shackled to physical trading cards. Players will make their way through the dynamic MMO world featuring champions, dungeons, raids, and epic gear. Cards can be found while battling within the world or purchased in 15 card Booster Packs.

The magic of HEX: Shards of Fate comes from the digital nature of the game. Not only are player's in-game avatars able to level up across a range of stats, but the cards themselves have unique attributes as well. Each card has a "double back" which reveals digital challenges and achievements for that card. Cards also have socketed slots for adding gems that fundamentally change how the card plays, allowing players to modify and individualize their collection to suit their play style, with billions of potential results.

All the game’s PvP features are already present in the beta version providing players plenty of social interaction. Additional content will gradually become available right up to the game’s final release. The number of available cards, currently numbering 350, will soon be expanded by a new set, bringing the total to over 500 playable cards.

Cory Jones, Head of Development and CEO of HEX Entertainment: “Due to high demand and the need for further testing by increasing player population on our servers, we felt the easiest way to accommodate this is by removing the restriction of having to have a beta key. This testing phase is also very important for us in the evolution of HEX and for our community. Together with Gameforge we’d also like to take the chance to thank all of the players who participated in closed beta. We really look forward to continue creating an even better gaming experience with all of our players.”

In advance of this move, the latest patch introduced a glut of all-round improvements and new usability features into the game. In addition to the reworked interface, which gives players an enhanced overview during duels, there is now an extensive tutorial to introduce beginners to the gaming mechanics in HEX: Shards of Fate. Apart from the exciting battles against other players, the public beta also gives players the opportunity to fight a rich variety of duels against differing grades of AI opponent.

Anyone wishing to play HEX: Shards of Fate can register on the official site and gain instant access to the game.
