Cover has published more details about Hololive Official Card Game, including its release date. After previously teasing the trading card game in April 2024, the company will start formally releasing it on September 20, 2024.
In this new card game, the player will act as a producer and fan who is tasked to set up a stage for the Vtubers to perform while sending cheering yells to support them and make them outshine the competing side.
Cards in this game will be available in the following four categories:
- Oshi (Favorite) HoloMem Card: A key character card that the player will place permanently on their stage area and separately from the deck. This card will also have a Life value that determines the character’s durability.
- HoloMem Card: Regular talent character cards that will help the Oshi HoloMem hype up the player’s stage by performing Arts.
- Support Card: Item or fan character cards that will give supporting effects to the player’s stage and HoloMems.
- Yell Card: Cards that HoloMems must equip to perform their Arts. Each card type will also have additional effects, making them similar to Special Energy Cards in Pokemon TCG.
The first starter deck for this card game will feature Tokino Sora and AZKi as the two available Oshi HoloMem cards. It will also consist of 20 Yell cards and 50 more cards from the HoloMem and Support categories that will complete the basic deck. This set will cost 1,980 yen (~$12.55).
Cover will also sell the first booster pack set “Blooming Radiance” at the same time. A pack will cost 440 yen (~$2.80), and the set will have a total of 133 cards. This number only counts cards with unique effects, but there will also be Parallel versions of the cards with alternative illustrations or glittering effects.
