Free-to-play CCG Mythgard left Early Access in style, bringing with it the game's first expansion, Rings of Immortality, in September 2020. Now is already time for another expansion of the popular title. In fact, it was already released for PC (Steam) and mobile (iOS and Android) on January 25.
Called The Winter War, Mythgard's newest expansion sees the addition of 140 cards, alongside a plethora of other content, including two all-new paths and two new powers.
Developer Rhino Games released a gameplay trailer ahead of the expansion's launch.
Coming with patch 19.6, here's what's been added and fixed, according to a post on the game's Steam page. There are also some things that need fixing, and those are listed below.

Arclighter can be canceled at cost if manufactured within the last 20 days.
Arclighter
In combination with several of the new low cost green spells introduced by Winter War, the 3/2 version of Arclighter was just too much.
We enjoyed Mythgard in its early access phase, calling it "a brave challenger to the CCG throne." We particularly liked its “variety” and “diverse selection of builds,” not to mention its “pacing is ethical” and “microtransactions are less blatant than other card games.”
