For all I do know, a few of these are straight-up gags. Mirana and Wraith King, at the least, are legit Artifact playing cards, however Defenstrating Ogre? Actually? April Fools was final week, proper?

It is no weirder than this man, I suppose.

Getting away from the eye-catching artwork, Valve stated within the replace that it is kicking round concepts for “extremely cool and particular issues” for Artifact founders, however is not prepared to maneuver forward with them but. It additionally invited gamers to ship suggestions letters to artifactbetafeedback@valvesoftware.com, and promised that it is “going to learn all of them.” There isn’t any phrase on when Artifact may make its grand re-entrance, however Valve is clearly critical (aside from the placeholder artwork) about making it occur.
