After being shut down in 2020, Duelyst is coming back.
That's not the end of the Duelyst story, however. Fans at indie studio Dream Sloth were given a licence by Counterplay , as well as most of the original source code, and are currently working on a relaunch called. It's based on the beta of Duelyst rather than the launch version, which means players draw two cards at the end of each turn rather than one, among other changes.
A popular element of Duelyst in beta, two-card draw made for fast, combo-driven play, though it proved difficult to balance around. Cards that cost lots of mana were rarely worth using when you could play two mid-price cards every turn without depleting your hand, and cards that synergized well were even better if you could get both at once.
The eventual switch to a more traditional one-card-per-turn model was controversial with the Duelyst hardcore, and Duelyst 2's return to the original style of play will doubtless win some of them over. Duelyst 2 also lacks another controversial addition, Bloodbound Spells, which were part of version 1.63 of the original, and gave each player's general—the hero unit representing them on the battlefield—a unique ability they could use every second turn.
Network tests for Duelyst 2 have begun, with the date of the next one due to be announced soon. You can sign up for them at
