Since its launch in June last year, Shadowverse has established itself as Japan’s leading digital collectible card game, and is at the forefront of Japan’s burgeoning esports scene. With over 40 free card packs for new players; nine packs to celebrate 9m downloads; another free card pack as part of the Street Fighter V collaboration; new story content; and the $10,000 cash prize on offer for winners of the game’s North American esports league – the NGE Shadowverse Open – there has never been a better time to check out the game.
