CARLSBAD, CA (November 2, 2007) – Upper Deck Entertainment (UDE) is currently working on the next Marvel Trading Card Game (TCG) Vs. System™ expansion set and would like the input of TCG players around the world. Releasing as a “players’ choice” set, UDE’s new Marvel Universe expansion will be created utilizing votes gathered from Vs. System fans who will have the opportunity to rally to have their favorite Vs. System components appear in the set. Players can begin casting their votes November 5 through December 31 on www.vssystem.com.
“This is the first time we’ve ever incorporated input on this large of scale where the fans are designing nearly the entire set,” said Vs. System Product Manager Hyrum Savage. “We wanted to reward Vs. System players who have been dedicated to the game throughout the years by producing a set based on what they would like to see in the game.”
Every few weeks, UDE will post a new category online that players can vote for. These categories will include teams, characters, mechanics, and storylines, to name a few. The information will then be gathered by UDE and implemented into the upcoming set.
UDE will continue organized play support for the Vs. System through the end of 2007 and into next year with the current line-up of the Elite Series program, Hobby League and Release Celebrations. Beginning early next year, UDE will also host an array of Mega Weekends that will feature various tournaments for players of all levels that will lead up to the Vs. System World Championship Tournament in August. Details of the World Championship Tournament and Mega Weekends will be announced in December.
The Vs. System game engine represents epic Super Hero™ battles in a TCG format. Development of the game included testing by top professional TCG players from around the world to ensure that the Vs. System is carefully balanced for high-level competition, as well as casual play.
