Wildfrost will be available in English, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, and Korean. Pre-orders are now available on Nintendo Switch, as well as a free demo.
Take to the frozen tundras of Wildfrost! Players will embark on a perilous journey through the frosty mountains alongside their trusty card deck of charming companions and powerful elemental items, in order to reclaim a world from a mysterious eternal winter. It’ll take determination, sharp strategy and deck-building skills to reach the Sun Temple and banish the Wildfrost once and for all!
Along the monster-laden trek, players will rescue and recruit frozen companions, unearth lost treasures, gift wondrous wobbly charms and spend hard-earned blings with mysterious travelling merchants. The decisions made in each run will help players craft a powerful deck, unique to each playthrough. Players can return to Snowdwell to rebuild the town, unlock more cards and encounter new challenges and events for an endlessly replayable adventure.
