The official launch in retail stores is planned for September 13, 2024. However, WellPlayed will get a limited amount of Kickstarter edition booster displays and starter decks. First come, first serve!

The Kickstarter version will be available in English and French. The retail version, which will be released in September, will be available in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.

Additional languages may be added in the future.

The 1st Expansion should be released January 2025. Every subsequent expansion should be released every 4 months (Jan/May/Sep).

Because of the fabrication process requirements, you will not find foiled cards within an Altered booster, instead you’ll find cards “Foiler” cards.

• Much like a wildcard in other games, a Foiler card is a card with a QR code which you'll scan in order to register it in your collection.
• Foil cards will exist in each rarity: Common, Rare, and Unique.
• Each Foiler can be applied to a card of the corresponding rarity that doesn't have a foiler applied to it yet. Once you use it, the Foiler is spent.
• When you spend a Foiler, it will apply to the card family. That means you'll only need to foil a cardname once per rarity!
• You’ll be able to trade Foilers over the marketplace just like other cards.
• When a card leaves your collection via the marketplace, the foil status is not transferred. Cardnames with Foilers applied will stay in your collection forever. If you ever reacquire that cardname at that rarity, the Foiler will still be applied!
• Foiler cards replace Tokens in Booster Packs 25% of the time.
• Foiler cards will also be a part of Organized Play rewards.

You can expect many types of surprises along the life of the game! Some of these include:

• Full Art promos of all 18 Heroes in Beyond the Gates available through various conventions and Preview Events throughout 2024.
• Alternate Art cards of 12 character "families" in Kickstarter Boosters.

More planned towards the end of 2024 and in to 2025.

Cards from the Kickstarter Edition boosters will have a Kickstarter exclusive stamp - the stylized Altered "A".
