Cover, the company behind the VTuber idols of Hololive has announced an official trading card game (TCG/CCG).
Hololive is no stranger to cards, previously releasing trading cards that are just for collecting (like baseball cards). However later this year an official Hololive card game will release, letting players build decks featuring their oshi.
The theme of the game is “co-creation/competition”, we speculate the game could be more about achieving victory points rather than destroying the life totals of enemy players. This would keep in line with the friendly cooperation of the hololive idols.
