Evaluation

Eternal Card Game is a free-to-play digital card game by Dire Wolf that has been in continuous live service operation since its launch in November 2018. The game is structured around ongoing, rotating content: monthly promo quests that introduce new cards, Sealed Leagues, Expedition format rotations, and periodically released card sets and story chapter bundles — all supported by in-game purchases and a gem economy. The developer has maintained a steady drumbeat of content releases. A major card set, Battle Lines (200+ new cards), launched on October 18, 2023. A new story bundle, Separate Ways (25 new cards), launched in June 2024. An Expedition format rotation was announced in April 2025, pointing to the game's continued maintenance and evolution. Balance patches have been issued consistently throughout this period (January 2024, April 2024, October 2024), alongside regular bug fix hotfixes. The store description explicitly describes monthly promo quests introducing new cards, month-long Sealed Leagues, and month-long constructed Leaderboards — all hallmarks of an ongoing live service game with a rotating content cadence. There is no indication from the developer that any of these content cycles are ending.
