"TCG Release Changes: Potential Impact on Magic, Disney Lorcana, and Pokémon"

Equinox Studio's upcoming trading card game, Altered TCG, plans to disrupt the TCG industry with its unique technology layer and business model. The game, set to launch on August 26, 2024, aims to create a centralized digital marketplace for its cards, allowing players to trade, sell, or buy cards worldwide using their smartphones. Each card pulled from a pack represents a digital token, providing visibility and control to Equinox and Asmodee, the distributor funding the game through a Kickstarter campaign. This approach could potentially change the way TCG publishers operate, but its impact on independent retailers remains uncertain.
