#artifact details

In a closed-door meeting with the game press yesterday, Valve President Gabe Newell revealed the first few details about their upcoming Dota-inspired card game, Artifact. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="720"] Image by IGN[/caption] Now on to the other juicier details. First off, Artifact will feature its own marketplace, much like the one that Dota 2 has, where users can buy and sell in-game goods. So far, Artifact stays true to its name as a MOBA-inspired card game. Pricing and exact release date of Artifact weren't revealed during the sit-down. While details about the storyline are still under wraps, industry insiders speculate on the creative challenges of translating a two-dimensional board game into a narrative film. As development progresses, fans eagerly await further updates on casting, plot details, and production timelines. However, for those of you that are not familiar with MTG, here is a quick refresher: In MTG, players take on the role of powerful wizards, known as Planeswalkers, who summon creatures, cast spells, and use artifacts to defeat their opponents.
