Spanish studio Games for a Living revives the WWII strategy card game with a mobile open beta on Nov 28, offering optional web3 card trading later.
Spanish developer Games for a Living (GFAL) announced that the revived digital strategy card game World War II: TCG will enter an open beta on 28 November 2026. The test will be available on iOS and Android through the App Store and Google Play, following a closed beta limited to the GFAL community that begins on 26 November. GFAL said the beta will be used to gather gameplay feedback before resetting progress and moving toward a full mobile launch.
World War II: TCG was originally released by FrozenShard Games in 2014 after a Kickstarter campaign that raised $18,001. The game combined historically themed cards—such as Japan’s A6M Zero fighter and Germany’s Tiger tank—with deck‑building mechanics that let players command tanks, infantry, aircraft, ships and submarines. In September 2022 the title was withdrawn from Apple’s App Store, Google Play and Steam when its backend provider GameSparks shut down, and FrozenShard announced it could not find a viable replacement.
Two co‑founders of FrozenShard, Christian Gascons (COO) and Marc Tormo (CCO), have joined GFAL, which is now leading the reboot. GFAL’s October announcement also introduced two other titles—Legends, a football management game, and Diamond Jewels Solitaire—scheduled for testing in Q4. After the beta, GFAL plans to let players own and trade eligible digital collectible cards via its GFAL Marketplace, with web3 participation described as optional.
According to the announcement, the marketplace will enable optional crypto‑wallet integration, allowing players to trade cards without mandating blockchain usage. Specific launch dates and the criteria for tradable cards have not been disclosed. GFAL also intends to release a PC version of World War II: TCG on Steam and the Epic Games Store after the mobile rollout.
Key upcoming milestones include the official release date of the GFAL Marketplace, the rules governing which cards become tradable NFTs, and the timeline for the PC version on Steam and Epic. Observers will also monitor community feedback from the open beta to see how it shapes the final mobile release and any potential integration of web3 features.
The open beta begins on 28 November 2026 for iOS and Android devices.
No, web3 participation is optional and not required for gameplay during the beta.
After the mobile launch, GFAL plans releases on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
