Saturday, November 29th, celebrate the release of the new UniVersus set for Guilty Gear: Strive! Open up a prerelease kit, craft your own deck, and battle it out for prizes! Each match won awards you with another pack. Everyone that participates receives an exclusive Chimaki Roman Cancel Token, only available at these exclusive Prerelease events!

Players must register for the event on the UniVersus Gaming Network (UGN). Our event is here! Entry is $30.

How does a Prerelease work for UniVersus?

Each Player is provided with six booster packs. Players then open their booster packs and use them to construct a 40 card minimum deck plus character card. Symbol restrictions are ignored; a Player may play any card from the provided booster packs regardless of their chosen character’s
symbols. Play is then considered as normal with the following exceptions: During play, if a Player runs out of cards in their deck and cycle they remove 5 cards instead of 10.

More news, information, events and more are located on the UniVersus website!
