The English edition of Shadowverse: Evolve launched worldwide on June 30, 2023 with the release of six starter decks featuring each of the playable classes, as well as the first booster set, “Advent of Genesis.”

Participants will receive a random card from the Promo Series 1 set, only available from July through September, for playing in these tournaments.

Apart from shop tournaments, shops can also organize another type of tournament under the Shadowverse: Evolve Championship program. These are one-off events that official distributors and stores can apply for, with exclusive prizes to be won.

The World Invitational season is also slated to begin in August starting with the Shop Qualifiers. Top players from each Shop Qualifier will be invited to play in a Regional Qualifier, which will then lead into the World Finals where the strongest players from around the world will compete for the title of World Champion.

Those who are looking to learn Shadowverse: Evolve can also attend the Shadowverse: Evolve demo caravan. Bushiroad staff members will be traveling to stores around the world to host demo sessions. More information on the dates and times of these sessions can be found on the official website.

The third booster set release for Shadowverse: Evolve, Flame of Lævateinn, has also been announced. This set features characters inspired by fairy tales, as well as the booster set’s namesake, Lævateinn Dragon.

The first crossover set, “Umamusume: Pretty Derby,” was also announced. The set will contain over 180 different cards featuring artwork and memorable scenes from the popular mobile game.

Due to the impact of this release on the competitive scene, two cards will be preemptively restricted in order to maintain a fair gameplay environment for all Shadowverse: Evolve players.

Shadowverse: Evolve is a competitive trading card game where players battle using one of six different classes, summoning followers and casting spells to defeat their opponents. The gameplay closely follows the digital collectible card game, with the inclusion of new mechanics that allow for new ways to play.
