In arrivo anche le carte collezionabili dell’Overwatch League
Pochi minuti fa Blizzard ha dato un nuovo ed importante annuncio per tutti gli appassionati dell’Overwatch League, che riguarda l’imminente pubblicazione delle nuove carte collezionabili dedicate ai giocatori ed alle squadre della Lega.
Attraverso una nuova collaborazione con Upper Deck, Blizzard ha infatti deciso di produrre posters, stickers ed ovviamente anche le già citate trading cards, che rappresenteranno i nostri giocatori preferiti del campionato in un modo del tutto nuovo per questa categoria.
In merito a questa iniziativa, l’head of esports licensing di Blizzard Daniel Siegel si è detto entusiasta ed ha anche affermato che la collaborazione con Upper Deck consentirà all’Overwatch League di offrire ai fan sparsi in giro per il mondo la possibilità di raccogliere e scambiare carte esclusive che rappresentano i loro campioni preferiti e moltissimi oggetti da collezione.
Il primo set dovrebbe essere disponibile dal prossimo 19 Giugno anche se, stando alle primissime informazioni ufficiali, questo dovrebbe riguardare i giocatori della prima stagione (quindi quella dell’anno passato, vinta dagli Spitfire).
Non mancano comunque le risposte molto divertite di alcuni membri della community che alla notizia hanno deciso di rispondere in modo divertente ed assolutamente esilarante: è il caso di Subutai che su Twitter ha svelato le “sue personalissime” versioni delle carte della OWL…
Cosa ne pensate di questa novità?
Di seguito riportiamo il comunicato pubblicato sul sito ufficiale di Upper Deck, vi auguriamo una buona consultazione ed un buon divertimento a tutti!
Trading Card Set Overview:
The first Overwatch League-licensed trading card set showcases fan-favorite players and teams from the league’s inaugural season, including a 125 player base set from all 12 inaugural Overwatch League teams. Get closer to the action with subset and insert cards that capture key moments, rivalries, league leaders and special events. Look for variant versions of base cards printed on acetate, as well as foil parallel cards ranging in rarity. Additional highlights include rare multi-player autograph cards, match-worn jersey cards and match-used memorabilia cards.
Through Upper Deck’s e-Pack platform, collectors will also be introduced to an extensive achievement system where they can earn exclusive avatars, autographed jerseys, multi-player booklet cards, relic shadowbox cards featuring match-used equipment, and more.
