The Duel Festival Has Arrived

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Commanders,

Summer is here, and so is the Duel Festival - our biggest celebration yet.

From July 15 through August 4, three action-packed weeks bring commanders together with daily rewards, special events, exclusive bundles, and exciting new ways to play.

Relive fan-favorite Skirmishes, compete in brand-new tournament formats, and immerse yourself in the world of your favorite WW2 card game. It's a celebration of the duel itself - every battle a chance to prove your skill, every day a new challenge to overcome. With something happening every single day, there's never been a better time to report for duty.

Daily Gold Gift

Every day brings free gold. Log in, claim your reward, and over the course of the festival you'll earn more than 1,000 Gold just by collecting your daily gifts. Make sure you don’t miss a day!
The free gold will become available every day at 11:00 UTC starting on July 15.

Weekend Skirmishes Return

Every weekend of the Duel Festival features one of the community's favorite Skirmishes.

Skirmish is a special game mode where each event deploys with its own unique ruleset. Every deployment presents a fresh tactical challenge, ensuring no two Skirmishes play the same.

Report for duty each weekend to experience these returning favorites:

  • July 17 - 19
  • July 24 - 26
  • July 31 - August 2


And for the Duel Festival, the rewards have been reinforced. Win your first battle in any of these Skirmishes to earn a random Officer Pack, giving you even more reason to join the fight each weekend.

Whether you're revisiting an old favorite or experiencing it for the first time, these popular rulesets are back for another tour of duty. Don’t miss it!

Duel Festival Tournaments

Battle for glory in two unique tournament formats.

The Duel Festival Tournament takes place every Wednesday, featuring a special prize pool under the standard ruleset. Report in, test your mettle, and have fun!

Each tournament runs as a fast-paced 8-player single-elimination bracket. Win your match, advance to the next round, and battle through to the final - the further you climb, the greater the spoils.

Duel Festival Tournament

Available Wednesdays, 00:00 - 18:00 UTC (July 15 - 30)

Entry Fee:

  • 75 Gold or 8 Diamonds


Rewards:

  • 0 Wins - 50 Gold
  • 1 Win - 60 Gold & a Random Pack
  • 2 Wins - 115 Gold & an Officer Pack
  • 3 Wins - 150 Gold & 2 Officer Packs


Meanwhile, Skirmish Tournaments deploy every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, bringing Skirmish rules into tournament play for the very first time.

The format remains the same 8-player single-elimination bracket, but every tournament features a unique Skirmish ruleset that changes the battlefield. Familiar strategies may no longer apply, forcing every commander to adapt, improvise, and overcome. Three different Skirmish Tournament types offer a fresh competitive experience unlike anything seen before in KARDS.

Skirmish Tournament

Available Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays, 00:00 - 18:00 UTC (July 15 - August 4)

Entry Fee:

  • 10 Gold or 1 Diamond


Rewards:

  • 0 Wins - 10 Gold
  • 1 Win - 10 Gold & a Standard Wildcard
  • 2 Wins - 10 Gold & a Limited Wildcard
  • 3 Wins - 10 Gold, a Limited Wildcard & a Random Pack

Lottery Drops

The popular Lottery Drops return with a wide variety of cosmetic rewards to collect. Throughout the Duel Festival, different Lottery Drops will become available, each featuring its own themed reward pool.

Every roll costs the value of the least expensive item in that collection, giving you a chance to walk away with something far more valuable. Fortune favors the bold!

Festival Bundles

The Shop is stocked with incredible value throughout the Duel Festival. Discover themed bundles, brand-new offers, and exclusive deals available for a limited time. Check back often as new bundles rotate in during all three weeks of the festival.

Something New Every Day

From daily rewards and rotating bundles to Skirmishes and tournaments, every day of the Duel Festival offers a new reason to log in.

Rally your allies, prepare your decks, and join us for three weeks of nonstop summer action. We can't wait to celebrate the Duel Festival with you.

A new patch will be released in preparation for the event.

See you on the battlefield!
