Daewon Media announced that, in collaboration with Neos, package pre-orders for the board/card game 'Culdcept Begins' will begin in Korea starting May 21. The title is scheduled to be released on July 16 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. 'Culdcept Begins' is the first new installment in the 'Culdcept' series in 10 years, combining board and card game elements. The game proceeds with players moving to empty spaces to secure territories, and competing against opponents by using cards to summon and cast spells. The story follows Kamur, a boy who transfers to the Sept Academia, a training institution for Scepters, as he grows while becoming entangled in a crisis facing the kingdom. The special edition will be released in two versions: the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and the Nintendo Switch Edition. In addition to the game package, both configurations include the Nintendo Switch 1 package of 'Culdcept: The First' (a reissue of the first title in the series), a Complete Card Book containing information on over 400 cards, a soundtrack CD and download code, and a deluxe special box. However, 'Culdcept: The First' only supports Japanese. Early purchase bonuses are available if you purchase the physical or digital version within one month of the release date. The special features consist of newly drawn characters 'Genes' and 'Nazaran' by Satoshi Matsuura, a book cover titled 'Original Culdcept Culdra (1st)', and a 'Korea-exclusive design Tereir'. They are available for free download on the Korean Nintendo eShop. The characters can be used as COM opponents and avatars, while the book cover can be used as an in-game deck cover design.
