Hey everyone, Elphie "Agent Coyle" here, Founder & Creative Director for Lightmare Studios, here with an update regarding IW, IW2 and more for those that hadn't seen the news.


Since the first InfinityCast back in July of 2019, we've taken a new approach to communication, involving more transparency, and open-ness from us. We've disclosed information on some of the biggest issues plaguing IW1, namely the technical problems it's faced. We'd also engaged with the community in whether or not we should keep the servers up, just as a courtesy to our oldest, and most passionate players, costing us thousands to do so.

Eight months later, we've come to the decision to suspend IW's servers indefinitely. You can hear all about it in the InfinityCast 5, but to summarise, we're needing to invest those resources into something more beneficial for us in the long term. This is NOT a shut-down, as we will bring the servers back up towards the full release of Infinity Wars 2 ( read more below ). We also have mentioned that our most loyal players and customers will have their collections honored in some way going forward.

The official date for the servers suspension is the 29th of March ( or 30th of March for Australians ). If you want a last nostalgia hit before IW goes dark for a while, jump on the Discord and find a game with people.


We've been hard at work on Infinity Heroes, which is creating and designing systems that are suitable to be used in Infinity Wars 2. Not only that, but with technical documentation being a much higher priority, we're aiming for Infinity Wars 2 to be a LOT cleaner and more well polished on a technical level, something I'm sure many IW Veterans are craving at this stage.

You can find the game on Steam HERE, and adding it to your wishlist will be a great way to hear more about the game when it's ready, as well as give us extra assurance that you all actually WANT an improved version of the game. Kindly note that store page assets for IW2 are proof-of-concept images and do not represent the final product we deliver.

You can also reach out on Discord to chat with the developers directly, we always enjoy hearing feedback, ideas, and the occasional praise is always appreciated.

On behalf of the Lightmare team past and present, I'd like to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you Infinity Wars 1 players for the journey so far. Whether you played for 1 hour or 1,000, you've been a part of Infinity Wars' history and it's our honour to have created it with you. We hope you enjoy some more time with Infinity Wars 1 before it goes on ice, and stay tuned for more Rift Runner, as we've got some interesting Infinity Wars 2 news to share with you in the coming weeks!

If you haven't seen the news, Infinity Heroes has recently been announced by Lightmare Studios.

Built for Mobile & PC with a refined gameplay experience, with some of the same things that made Infinity Wars great. Its success could also lead to a direct sequel, Infinity Wars 2.

Greeting everyone, I am here to inform you that I will be replacing DrewUniverse as your new Community Manager, Drew has been relieved of his duties. I will be performing various roles but my primary role will be connecting with the community and getting your voice heard, I believe that transparency between YM and the community will benefit both parties. You can come to me with questions and comments about the game (bugs included), but I cannot give you special insider info ahead of anyone else.


Who am I?

I'm ES, one of IW's veterans, First of his name, Aberion's highest ranking officer, with over 6k hours played odds are we've met on the battlefield ;D, I started playing IW about 2 years ago and I fell in love with the core mechanics, the beautiful art and the unique IW community.

What would be my role as CM?

With the help of our great moderators, I will give a voice to the community, conveying information to the dev team while reporting bugs directly to the team.


My goals:

- Improving the NPE
I think that there needs to be far fewer barriers to get to the core gameplay IW has to offer and I will be working to achieve that.
- Polishing the game
We have a lot of cards that either lack in description or have some problematic keywords that will be hard for new players to understand, like the difference between "Deployed character" and "Enters the deployed area" for example. My aim is to go over all the cards in the game and single out those who's description require change or clarification. IF anyone wishes to help me in this endeavor, PM me either on Discord or on this forum, any help would be appreciated ;D
In addition I will be working with the team to implement an Official Rule book so players can look it up during their match.
Creating an official Stream Team for IW with a weekly schedule to entertain you guys, the team will include Streamers such as GraveCrawler, Largenuggets, Equastro, Delusionofhope and more, if you wanna be on the team, let me know on Discord or PM me on this forum. They will be featured by the Official IW Twitch channel if I can get the login info (Can't reach the previous CM) or will have to create a new Official channel.
- Balancing the old and outdated cards, starting with the legends (we are getting close)

What’s the Team Been Up To Lately?

- The team is now collaborating with Infinity disciple in order to promote and revitalize the official Youtube channel.
- The team is working on some of my NPE ideas and will implement them soon:
-Removing the Fixed decks mode (no one plays that mode and it just makes the Normal queue much slower).
-Expanding the free weekly decks to include 28 decks (7 available each week), those decks will be available at the store at a lower price (18k IP and the appropriate LP).
-Once that squares up, they will be moving onto creating an in-game Bug report button, this will report and squash bugs quickly without asking the player to dig through their files in order to get to their log report. Creating a glossary/in-game rule book and others.
Team will continue to advertise the game, targeting TCG/CCG players and working with CCG/TCG channels.

Infinity Wars has dropped its beta tag and introduced some awesome new content:

New PvE Campaigns:
Two new campaigns for Descendants of the Dragon and Sleepers of Avarrach have joined the existing four campaigns. Each new campaign features 5 missions; complete each of the missions to receive a starter deck of 40 cards for each faction!

UI Reskin:
Silver and gold Rebellion-themed UI skin. This skin will become the new default for players. From the player profile screen, players can switch freely between the Rebellion theme and the older general theme.

Bug Fixes:
Fixed a critical bug where characters with multiple lives were getting an additional life. Cards given additional lives by ability cards, Second Wind and Heavenly Wish, were also given one too many lives.
