The Isle of Madness story expansion for Bethesda's CCG The Elder Scrolls: Legends was announced last year, but it's only now that we're getting a proper overview of its features. Launching on January 24, 2019, the expansion will take you on a three-act journey through the Shivering Isles and have you dealing with the Daedric Prince of Madness Sheogorath.
And on the gameplay side of things, Isle of Madness will introduce a new Double Card mechanic, as well as a couple of new lane conditions. You can read all about those below, but first, here's the official trailer:
Say goodbye to your last sliver of sanity – Sheogorath’s influence over The Elder Scrolls: Legends is about to take hold!
The next major story expansion for Legends, Isle of Madness, arrives January 24 with chaos, calamity, conspiracy and (of course) cards galore! Over the course of three acts, Isle of Madness whisks players off to the Shivering Isles, where nothing is what it seems at first and no one can be trusted – least of all the Daedric Prince of Madness himself.
Starting now, you can pre-order Isle of Madness for $19.99 and receive all three acts once they become available, along with a bonus Prince of Madness card back and rare player title: “The Shivering.”
Introducing the Isle of Madness Premium Pre-Order
For those willing to fully devote themselves to Sheogorath’s anarchic ends (or just share his appreciation for flair) we are also offering the Isle of Madness Premium Pre-Order for $49.99.
The Isle of Madness Premium Pre-Order features all the content of the standard Isle of Madness pre-order with premium playsets of all 55 collectible cards instead, which all become available in your Collection upon release of the expansion! The Premium Pre-Order also includes a premium version of the Prince of Madness card back and an epic player title: “Master of Madness.”
New Mechanic: Double Cards
Speaking of all-new cards, Isle of Madness debuts a whole new mechanic that will have players seeing double. Enter the Double Card – a card so nice, you can use it twice!
A Double Card captures the essence of two distinct cards housed in a single vessel. Once drawn, the card splits, granting you two cards in the place of one! After all, why settle between a Baliwog or a Spawn Mother when you can have both?
New Lane Conditions: Dementia & Mania
As players traverse the Isle of Madness, they will encounter all-new lane conditions that change up how they play their creatures. The Dementia Lane deals damage to opponents if you control the most powerful creature, while the Mania lane draws you a card for having the creature with the highest health.
Some cards within Isle of Madness can convert existing lanes into Mania or Dementia lanes, so keep a sharp mind and learn to master these new conditions so that the insanity consumes your opponents rather than you!
