For people like me , that werent interested in digital cardgames for a long time, now that SVE has a place in my local game shop this rebranding is just in time. I agree that it is so much nicer for people that never played original SV to come to a fresh start with everyone.
That's me. I didn't play the previous SV because it was a very old game, but seeing that they are releasing a new one, I am aware of what is said about the game.
It is quite possible that there are many people like me who for the same reason did not previously play SV.
@@Foderlinz 8 years isn't that old...
Been playing shadowverse on and off since day 1 and a reset is definitely needed. The Hero's battle event was refreshing to play and I just hope tag battle would come to worlds beyond since I've seen it in the anime, I want tag battle so bad please.
Oh you're right that would be so cool
I can understand the SV engine not being able to handle it, but SVE's card text are taking into account 3+ player games so we can have hope for WB
The video is incredible, very well analyzed. I think you have understood very well why a Shadowverse 2 is needed. I believe that this Shadowverse Worlds Beyond will have a very positive influence, and the number of Shadowverse players might grow to a level we can't even imagine right now.
Thank you so much
The game really needs a reset. Hearthstone should do the same tbh. Glad to see Cygames has the balls to actually make this move.
People take powerkreep for granted, but with time, I've come to believe that you can just balance your game in a way that isn't dogshit. Shadowverses balance was fucked pretty early on when they decided to make cards like Daria, and we've been fighting broken with broken ever since. Researching the physical cardgame makes me believe they've learned from original shadowverse and will do better this time around.
I've played shadowverse when it came out, and even though I haven't played it in some time, I'm looking forward to what they are cooking with worlds beyond.
Is that why last update the devs decided to make SV it the most dogshit in terms of "balance" than it's ever been?
@user-ki8xd2wi3x Is it? They already had the worst balance in any cardgame with wonderland dreams, so that would be an accomplishment.
Ironically, while it is true that powercreep has made game last fewer turns, Rotation is arguably the most balanced it has ever been. Which means they can actually make balanced metas if they try.
@@EclipseZer0 totally balanced 0pp Aegises and multiple 10pp followers in one turn
@@Bartido Literally the expansion that made me quit after playing since 2nd expansion.
Abyss blood was the most unfun shit to play against ever besides Dshift rune who just play solitaire.
See you guys in Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond!
This was a very insightful video. I cannot wait to get back into Shadowverse with the new release. Thank you for the comprehensive info drop.
Looking forward to trying this out!
Thanks, I needed this.
1:49
definitely
doubt it
Good Video! Agree with a lot of these points, game had been power crept for a while now and needed a fresh restart with the TCG and Anime drawing in so many new players it was the perfect time.
4-turn win? Ah yes, Atomy Shadow in UL back in the days is just insane.
I generally hope it comes out on PS5 and Switch someday with crossplay.
Loved this game but quit playing it a couple years ago for the reasons you mentioned. Would love to play the new game but that ugly chibi nonsense would be a deal breaker for me.
With that explaination make sense for them to make a secuel game.
I'm looking forward to Worlds Beyond. I've been wanting to play mobile but I always felt like I was too late to join. Now I get the chance to play from the start with this new one coming out.
Looking forward to worlds beyond seeing as my primary card game (Runeterra) was essentially shafted this year and as much as I wanted to get into Shadowverse it just seemed way too late and the meta was far too complex
PvP was shafted , PvE still exists but i get it , a lot of people play Runeterra for the PvP
@@symphonixblades i think that amounts to it. That was the original intended game mode I mean PoC wasnt even introduced until two years after the game launch. It is like saying battlegrounds is still being supported if they stopped making Hearthstone cards
I played Shadowverse very early on as a transplant from RoB (due to EN servers getting whacked), but I wasn't a super big 1v1 or TCG player. I think this wind down is handled much better from a business sense.
Really curious about Cygames in the future
As long as you can carry over the previous game's stuff to the new game. I wanna keep all my old leaders
They confirmed that leader skins will NOT transfer. RIP.
@@EclipseZer0 NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo! My Shaman King Leader!
Hopefully they’ve learned how to handle power creep better for SV2. The game needs to have a banlist with the rotation to help power creep stay slow.
If you can't keep you're leaders, I doubt I'll invest my time into it.
Really loved the original during the first 4 sets and the switch version. I will jump back in but am worried about how they can reasonably handle power creep. I haven't seen a card game successfully handle it.
Solid video
To me, it's just Cygame's secret plan to give all their IPs Chibi avatars. GBVS Rising has them(even a lobby with football), Uma Musume has that Party Dash game in the works with chibi pixel art, and GBF has always used chibi sprites.
Also, I just think that Cygames realizes that games need to be made for an IP to last as something interesting. Live service can only go so far when the code is lagging behind.
I hope it gets more popular. I don't want to have to describe it to people as Hearthstone, but anime.
coming from champion’s battle, this game looks sick!
I'm just glad we finally get a new Satan card
thanks for making the video, very informative. haven't played since hitting master in unlimited back during season 66, just reinstalled today cause i randomly remembered that shadoverses anniversary comes during this time of year. can't wait to play once it rolls around lol. would love for my leaders bought to carry over at least, i did buy a couple and grind for some. any info on that front?
They gave us news in June, leaders in SV will give us posters for your "home" in Worlds Beyond apparently, details on the main website :)
@@HishiTCG thanks for the info! will check it out.
Ngl i played shadowverse for a good bit but didn't get much time to play it as much afterwards Maybe worlds beyond will stick long term
i just wanna play with my artifacts bro
"generous" and you show the least generous one, grandblue fantasy where peoples farm for half a year to get their characters
as for the hub its something they already developped for grandblue versus and rising, so its not surprising they update their game with this addition
Just wish the game would let old shadowverse players keep their existing leaders instead of forcing them buying again for a 10$ DLC each
If they really are dumping the main game then I'm done with the ip as a whole
Those hips don't lie
so, 10 years in the future the same thing will happen?
I got the Switch game, Shadowverse: Champion’s Battle and I love the characters and world. And the card game was fun, if really challenging with the rules.
I don’t know about Worlds Beyond.
So earlier this year
Legends of runeterra essentially died to me. They completely gutted it and set it to just being a POC thing which...no. Sadly since it was something a lot of us saw coming thanks to the games monetization being well
Not that great at making money.
Still it sucks that i haven't had a competitive online card game to scratch that itch. So when my friend told me that Shadowverse was getting essentially a sequel
Yep ill be there day one to see if this is the thing for me.......or are online card games gone for me
I played SV since day 1 and quit around the time the Wicked Avatar rotated out if I recall correctly. My issue was not only power creep but the very obvious preference on some classes over others.
I played ONLY Haven which I know was shooting myself on the foot, but Haven provided me with a unique gameplay at the start with countdowns, forcing me to memorize every other deck so that my amulets would pop when I needed them forcing the opponent to either fall for it or do a suboptimal play.
But no matter how long, that was pretty much it... There was basically no amulet support, Haven became a Storm thing which I didn't like, other classes started getting way more mechanics while I am sure Haven got none even to this day. Furthermore I was never interested in other classes as they were all basically Aggro in a different flavor or something I found frustrating or ridiculous like Spellbootsing giving you an advantage for throwing cards, Sword eventually having free evolves , or dragon being a Ticking time bomb with a speed up button and so on.
I know Haven got a taste of these too later on but in all honesty the experience felt the same even when I was winning since. This time I am hoping that they rework not only Haven but every class to be actually unique so that I won't feel compelled to play haven only again.
And yes, I am aware of the Healing centric strategies, ward strategies, Diamond and the countdown support. But honestly these were not it for me as they didn't feel unique at all even if they were strong.
Either way, see you guys in Worlds Beyond.
bof i enjoy shadowvers yet but i can understand the need for a reset
I completely disagree with your power creep take, i think it only signifies a lack of imagination from the creators
Have you seen yu gi oh bro
And now they pushed it 9 months. Leaving playerbase nothing to do.
Rage of bahumat then shadow interesting 😅
I really liked the classic era from launch until Tempest of the Gods. I dislike the combo-centric game Shadowverse has become.
After Wonderland Dreams, I played almost exclusively PvE content.
I hope Worlds Beyond gives me back the game I loved. But I am not happy about losing 8 years worth of cards. We'll see if the handouts for my account's progress are worthwhile.
It’s the one piece problem, you ain’t getting any new readers at chapter 1050.
I'm sad I'm losing my hatsune miku skin
Money?
After ditching YGO, SV really made me enjoy card games again. Really looking forward to SVWB.
Never get into Shadowverse because the New player gate. Might but this one up
I was pretty dejected by the design decisions by the R&D team during Wonderland Dreams and didn't feel they had the skill and ability to maintain a balanced format moving forward so i stopped around there and didn't feel any urge to play the game again actively at that point.
If anything were to bring me to look at SV2 it would probably be the last point, which is about the general social hub stuff mostly cause it's a smart decision by cygames to have mode in the game with variable engagement levels that will rope in many types of people to at least install it and look at it and possibly play some games over time while engaging with the app.
They did something similar with Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising and i think it was a good decision there as well.
I played SV for the first three sets and I'm not interested in playing again if we can't use our old cards for anything.
"bUt EvErY gAMe dIeS eVEnTUALLY!!" No. Netrunner is "dead", but I can still use my cards to play and they've actually risen in vakue as they age. The "dead" formats of Magic still have monetary and play value. Not even giving compensation to old SV players is sleazy.
uh- you can still play with your old cards tho, just not on the new game.
The biggest advantage of launching a new game is being able to "reboot" the stage, clean the slate of any powercreep acumulated over the years / not have to worry about how every new crad may interact with some random card released 3 years ago, and make the game feel more aproacheable to new players who want to start on equal footing with everyone else, instead of having to catch up to 8-years worth of content.
Allowing old players to simply bring in their previous collection would remove pretty much ALL the advantages of launching a new game.
The logic of having a stale meta is a false logic,
Many people play older formats in irl cardgames.
Because they like the pace snd diversity.
Sometimes power creep reduces diversity and depth.
Well, look at yugioh and its powercreep
Yugioh powercreep is a joke compares to Shadowverse tbh.
@@hngtuong i dont play shadowverse but i think Yugioh is the Worse
@@huynghiepduShadowverse has both mana system and rotation to dial back powercreep but no, they ramp it.
I quitted during DoC (22th set).
At least favorite deck in YGO, even weak right not would have support in the future to bring them to playable level in future. It's not the case with "When it's my turn to be broken" mindset Cygames was cooking.
@@hngtuong i see.
@@hngtuong still 1 turn kill and First turn kill are still the worst things a cardgame can have. And for that part Yugioh is so BAD.
Cause they tired of balancing blood
Cant trust a card company that burns your entire collection every 8 years when im still able to play with cards from the worst card company of them all from 30 years ago.
Yu-Gi-Oh? Oh no, wait, MTG. Actually, I'd rather they increase the daily free currency farm, 0.8 - 1 pack a day isn't what I'd call "friendly", it's only beating Genshin and/or HSR.
“Every 8 years” I like how your trying to imply that they done this before also your sinking more money into that game from 30 years ago with there increase production (almost a new set every month) power creep and now having a premium options then you ever would for this free to play game that you don’t have to every spend a cent on
At the end of the day, it's your choice.
I just find your reasoning to be a bit odd, considering you're implying you won't be able to play with these cards anymore- when you still can. They've not announced that they'll shut down the servers, on the contrary they explicitly said that they'll keep the servers open and they'll change the format to keep things from becoming too stale.
@@Shuwa217HAHA! Fellow brother of mine! Lmao true on both and sadly I have extensive collections of MTG AND YGO. Recent releases at that!
God I feel this...
LMAO DELAYED
Tbh this is possibley cygames biggest game yet
There's loads of game build into one
I can see why the game got delayed tbh
I want to play more banlanced card game, sorry but that´s my opinion.
So far they've fucked up in 4 ways:
1-Not giving any info. They announced the game in December and barely talked ever since.
2-Merging Shadowcraft and Bloodcraft. The reasoning is that "7 classes are easier to balance than 8" and that "Blood's mechanics aren't good", yet we currently have arguably the most balanced Rotation meta with Blood having 3-4 meta-viable decks. Alsoo less classes means more cards per class and thus more potentially broken interactions, just like Crosscraft showed us.
3-Not giving veterans much freebies. Not only we obviously lose our card collections (which hurts but could be reasonable by itself), but also we know nothing about compensations, AND we'll lose our leader skins (it has been confirmed leader skins won't transfer, other unespecified cosmetics will).
4-The "maintenance mode" of the original Shadowverse is legit looking very good. Throwback Rotation, Custom Rotation, more cosmetics, scheduled events and potentially more balance patches. Some people may not feel the need to "make the jump" into Worlds Beyond.
Very much a massive red flag for a company to burn away collections like this. Means that there's no reason to give them your money since they'll stop supporting whatever you get anyway.

Nothing is forever yugioh will one day die magic the gathering will one day die even Pokémon will one day die and you will have sunk more money in them by the time they die this game is completely free and spending money is optional you do not have to pay a single cent

IMO kinda make sense.... im tire orf YuGiOh bc the OTK decks r too ez to pull off now lol

Not looking forward to it at all considering how they balanced the original game.
If anything, I’d like to see them stepping away from the “Quest” deck design. Over the years, SV cards design has been repetitive just because they are already too deep in this kind of design. There has to be a 1pp ping 1 in your face, 2pp ping 1 to your face twice, etc. because they keep making Wrath payoffs. And it got worse, because sometimes these quest decks either have too good payoffs or too easy requirements, or both. And to combat that, they make another quest deck that’s even better, instead of trying to stop that kind of design. It’s the one thing that made me fall out of love with the game. Quest design can be very interesting if done right, but now it’s just used as a way to give everything in a deck storm and/or to deal an absurd amount of face damage that the opponent just can’t do anything about it.
I like the game itself honestly. Shadowverse is a very weak adaptation by itself, they (the devs) will get some more time with this remake but I don't understand 1 thing. Nobody watches the anime because it is very lame & why would anybody watch it if theres a better option (Yu-Gi-Oh) & nobody plays the game because why would anybody do, this is Heartstone with evolution points.
So, why the hell they dont invest their money to promoting the existing card game & implementing some new content to it instead of completely mass up the existing game and releasing it in a new package? The main reason nobody plays these games are that the only games majority knows are Heartstone, Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh and thats because of their marketing is way better. Theres no need for an entire shadowverse anime series, they should make stupid Facebook and Instagram ads like any other noname games does nowadays, and than they could reach more players. This Shadowverse 2 remake/release/update whatever to call, is a half-solution. After a year or so the playerbase will drop down back where it is now.
Yeah, cool, BUT WHY DELETE SHADOWCRAFT???
Rather than Shadow, it seems more like Blood is getting absorbed into Shadow.
Its not going away just getting fused with blood
Because they are stupid. They say that "7 classes are easier to balance than 8", yet Rotation has the most balanced meta ever right now. Also with 7 classes you have more cards per class, and thus more card interactions and thus less balance. And the excuse of "Blood is difficult to balance" is also bogus since Blood right now has roughly 3-4 meta-viable decks that don't overlap much, and they could've just reworked its mechanics without merging it into Shadowcraft.
@@EclipseZer0 Wasnt wraith blood tier 1 or 0 for heros? And I dont get how them lowering it by 1 immedailty means less balance its gonna be more or less the same if anything means more support for classes and archtypes which is a win. Besides the BIGGEST reason for the merge is because evolve, Evolve did it because of physical restraints (Ie not a cardfight vanguard problem with 24 clans to support) I dont think theres much of a problem with these classes merging because there thematics are literally the same with slight differences
not really deleting but bloodcraft is just hard to balance, at one point is useless and another time its freaking broken so shadowcraft is gonna help out with blood probably for balance reasons
It's very simple. They want people to start spending money on packs and skins again. The only way to do that is by making the cards and skins people already have, useless. Having cards and skins in Shadowverse will mean nothing anymore once the developer stops making new content and people stop playing because of it. They try to make it seems less bad by keeping the servers up but it doesn't.
If they also want to reset the power creep, they can just do it within the current game. They can literally just limit all the currently existing cards to Unlimited only or a new format and start releasing new packs with new mechanics and lower power levels for rotation.
Whenever a developer say that their engine is too old to keep making new and exciting content, it's a fucking lie. Proven by Riot. They did not need a new engine just to make a great 2D card game. It was for the open world 3D shit no one asked for.
In the end, cygames proved themselves to be untrustworthy when they won't hesitate to shut down a game with so many players that have invested their time into for money. Shame
I think it's dumb to create a new game after people spent so much money to get skins and cards. People won't be happy about that. They should create a system where you at least gain something from having spent money on shadowverse, just like smite does. I'm very sure World's beyond is going to have power creeping too, just like any mobile game.
