Virtual Goods News: Free Realms CCG In Stores This Week, With Virtual Loot Cards

Free Realms CCG In Stores This Week, With Virtual Loot Cards

This week fans of the free-to-play all-ages MMORPG Free Realms can begin looking for the physical versions of the game's virtual CCG in stores nationwide this week. The first series contains 180 cards developed in partnership between the Sony Online Entertainment Denver studio and Topps. The Free Realms cards play up the link between the physical and the virtual by stuffing each pack with "virtual loot cards" containing codes that can be redeemed for in-game virtual goods.

There are fifty different virtual loot cards in all. Many of the virtual loot items are exclusive to the CCG loot cards and include exclusive virtual apparel and pets. In addition, there are 16 series-exclusive cards that can be used in the physical CCG but also come printed with a code that can be redeemed for a virtual copy of the same card for use in the online CCG. Each booster back of the Free Realms CCG will contain one virtual loot card.

The physical CCG starter deck, priced at $9.99, comes with an exclusive Black Labrador pet and codes that can be redeemed for an exclusive t-shirt and racing kart for use by your Free Realms character. There is also a code offering a free on-month subscription to Free Realms (which would usually cost $4.99). In addition, every physical booster pack for the CCG will contain a code that can be redeemed for 50 Station Cash, the virtual currency of Free Realms.
