Ahoy Blitzers!

It’s time to get your sea legs ready and join the action, as Cross Blitz sets sail with our 1.0 release! Crossdawn Isle awaits those with a sense of adventure, intrigue and strategy, in a world which has been shaped by fellow crewmates throughout our Early Access voyage.

It’s been an incredible journey, and as a part of our launch we also wanted to celebrate the Blitzers who have come before. Without your voyages and feedback, Cross Blitz would not be the adventure that it is today. Your experiences have helped us to chart an incredible course to our official 1.0 launch.

Whether you’re a new hand or a veteran member of the Cross Blitz crew, things have evolved massively since we first tested out the waters of Early Access. We’ve launched a significant number of new features, fixes and improvements, all guided by the experiences of our Blitzers. Jump in now to raise the flag and discover the elements we’ve added since our first release:

• 300+ New cards for 5 total factions

• Dozens of new build archetypes

• 3 New campaigns in “Fables” Story Mode

• 3 New Maps in “Tusk Tales” Roguelite Mode

• 15 New Playable Mercenaries in “Tusk Tales” Roguelite Mode

• New Daily and Weekly Hunts in “Tusk Tales” Roguelite Mode with leaderboard

• New unlockable Cosmetic Card Backs

• New and improved visual card effects and animations 

With our 1.0 voyage now underway, we’ll leave you to set sail. Whether you’re looking for a dedicated story mode, a roguelike adventure or just have a yearning to explore the sea, Cross Blitz is available NOW.

Ahoy Blitzers! Some great news washing ashore this morning, and we’re beyond excited to tell you that Cross Blitz is officially sailing out of Early Access and into 1.0 on November 24th 2025! Starting on October 24th, Cross Blitz will cost $22.99 on Steam as we batten down the hatches and prepare for the November voyage to 1.0.

Since we first weighed anchor on the Early Access back in 2023, Cross Blitz has brought on board a hearty crew of characters, and called into various ports to restock on cards and challenges. But there’s more to come yet, so cast your eyes on today’s freshly-caught trailer and dive into the adventures which await with our November 1.0 launch.

In Cross Blitz, heart-felt adventure meets fierce, strategic turn-based battles. Joining a memorable crew of five heroes, Blitzers will guide them through tense conflict and bountiful treasure hunting, weaving highs and lows into your lengthy voyages in the Fables story mode.

Ally with Seto, a small but powerful martial artist, on a journey to find his master. Or join Quill to aid in high-stakes heists and support him as he fights to provide for his impoverished family and bring justice to the common folk. In addition, keep your eyes peeled and set your spyglass to the horizon, as a new crew member - Mereena - will be joining the fray very soon!

Mereena joins fierce pirate Redcroft and the charming popstar Violet in 1.0, adding even more variety to our swelling crew. Players will join Mereena to discover more about this insightful and caring Sprout Elf, and help her to deliver peace and tranquility for all those on Crossdawn Isle. She may be the future ruler of Sproutsvale, but players will need to guide Mereena as she discovers the world outside her sheltered upbringing.

During each hero’s adventure you’ll explore a  variety of unique locations, and meet an array of colourful characters - all while unlocking a boat-load of  new cards, abilities and relics. Blitzers will need to deploy from a treasure trove of strategic tools to craft the perfect deck to suit the way you like to \sail\ play!

Test your strategy in the Tusk Tales roguelite mode, charting your own course through the peculiar regions of the Cross Blitz world. On this journey, no two voyages will ever be the same, requiring Blitzers to adapt to overcome and survive. Purchase powerful trinkets to boost your curated deck, rally a crew of trusty mercenaries and face off against foes that grow fiercer with every battle.

Blitzers who joined our crew previously may already know, but for the as-yet landlubbers among us, here’s what you can find on a Cross Blitz voyage!

• Deep Deckbuilding Strategy: \Swab\ Build unstoppable decks with more than 500 cards, customising and perfecting strategies to meet different playstyles across five factions.

• Thrilling Adventure: Sail through 60+ hours of adventures across five different stories as our heroes overcome a variety of trials and tribulations in the Fables story mode.

• Endlessly Replayable Challenge: Brave constantly-changing seas on the roguelite Tusk Tales mode to unlock 20 new mercenaries. Face off on four randomised maps packed with unique battles and 12 different bosses to test your tactical prowess.

• An Enthralling World: Packed to the crow’s nest with colourful characters, intriguing locations and delightful secrets, making Cross Blitz an exceptional title for those looking for adventure and exploration.

We’re looking forward to setting sail alongside our incredible community, as we launch into 1.0 on November 24th. Get ready to hornswoggle your enemies and hang ‘em from the yard arm.

Prepare for adventure, Blitzers. The time to cast off is coming soon!

Ahoy Blitzers,

We have a quick but important update to share with you today.

As many of you know, our previous roadmap placed the 1.0 release of Cross Blitz in Q3. After reviewing development progress and timelines, we will share a precise release date very soon!

This wasn’t an easy call, but it’s the right one to ensure Cross Blitz launches with the level of polish, balance, and content you deserve.

What does this mean?

Nothing drastic is changing in terms of features or goals. The game is shaping up well, we simply need a bit more time to wrap everything up properly. Rather than rush the final stretch, we’re taking the safe route to give you the experience we’ve always aimed for.

We’re still hard at work on:

• Mereena Campaign

• Game-wide balance improvements

• QA/testing passes

Thank you, truly, for your support and understanding. We're incredibly excited to cross the finish line with you very soon!

See you around, Blitzers!⛵

New Mercenaries:

• Ziggy Stardust (Fortune) The wealthy proprietor of Glimmer Glow Casino – an elusive gambling den where only the most prominent aristocrats are invited to play. He considers himself an elite member of society, and looks down on those outside of his ritzy social sphere. Ziggy takes advantage of Glimmer effects, banking and splurging his wealth to power up his minions and deal damage.
• Lustra Starscale (Chaos) A one-of-a-kind Demonborne dancer who bears a strong connection with the dragons of old. After a selfless sacrifice, she gave up her own life to fulfill her duty and protect her friends. Her playstyle uses a variation on the Groupie archetype, mixing in uniqe dance-based spells.
• Sen (Balance) A wandering Riverclan samurai who lives by a strict code of honor. He seeks to test his swordsmanship against worthy opponents in an endless pursuit to hone his skills. Sen specializes in the Katana archetype, sharpening his weapon and attacking enemies directly with his blade.
• Spurfoot Willy (Nature) A talented shrubrancher from the outskirts of the proutwood. His love of these leafy creatures is second to none, having grown up taking care of them on his pop’s ranch. He never goes anywhere without his loyal shrubasaur companion, Buckaroot. Willy utilizes the mighty power of his shrubasaur allies to overwhelm his opponents with powerful, highly survivable minions.
• Broodmaster Braig (War) A bloodthirsty warrior who led a violent campaign many years ago, shortly after settlers first came to Crossdawn Isle. His passion for battle and bloodlust paved the way for his promotion to commander. His enchanted gauntlets allow him to summon fearsome creatures born of blood, utilizing Blood Tokens for various powerful buffs and card effects.
