Hello fellow Earthlings, Today, were announcing exciting updates to Mindbug Online! After listening to your feedback, weve made significant changes to enhance your experience, introduce a brand-new mode, and make the game more accessible. Duels will be Free-to-Play Were removing the restrictions on the Duel Queue! Previously, Duel Queue was limited to two games per day for free players, with AI Arena as the main free-to-play mode. However, weve heard loud and clear that this didnt meet expectations for a competitive card battler. With this update, everyone has unlimited access to the Duel experience. Introducing the Colosseum: A weekly evolving Battleground
While Duel Mode offers a competitive experience with a fixed meta over several weeks, the Colosseum introduces a fast-paced, ever-changing battlefield with unique card pools, global effects, and special rules that keep the gameplay fresh. In the Colosseum, players aim for 6 wins before 3 losses to earn a ticket to the final round. The format evolves weekly, featuring different card sets, exclusive new cards, and dynamic global effects. Players can earn exclusive rewards, including dedication, special cosmetics, and a weekly promo card for their collection. You can find a full description of the new Colosseum Mode here: Learn more about the Colosseum The Boxed Model: A Premium Experience We still believe in the boxed model where purchasing the card set gives you full access to everything this set has to offer. This ensures a premium experience for those who want it. Heres what premium players get:

• Unlimited Access to the Colosseum: Compete as often as you want in our weekly challenges (learn more).
• Challenge a Friend: Directly invite your friends for a friendly match with this set.
• Progression Mode (Coming soon): Unlock 2 Mindbugs for the upcoming progression mode. (learn more)

• Async Games (Coming soon): Youll be able to enjoy games with your card sets at your own pace in the asynchronous game mode.

Why Are We Making These Changes? Mindbug is our passion. We have been working day and night on this game for the last 3 years. We wouldnt make these changes if we didnt believe they would make Mindbug Online more accessible, engaging, and rewarding for everyone. Whether youre a free player enjoying ranked matches or a premium player diving into the full spectrum of features, theres something for everyone. We truly appreciate your feedback and passion for Mindbug. Your voices are shaping this game into something special, and we cant wait for you to dive into Duels, explore the Colosseum, and experience all the exciting updates that will come next. We understand that this is a significant change to our monetization model. If you feel that this new direction no longer aligns with your expectations and youve already purchased a set, youre welcome to contact us (via info[at]kissaki.de). We want to ensure that all our players feel valued and supported during this transition. However, we firmly believe that owning a full card set is now more valuable than ever! Stay tuned for more updates, and well see you in the Colosseum! The Mindbug Team
