The Launch of Queen’s Blade Re:Build

The gaming community is buzzing with excitement as 'Queen’s Blade Re:Build' is now available on the gaming platform Steam. Developed by C&R Creative Studios, a division of C&R Corporation, this new rogue-lite armor-break card game invites players into a captivating world filled with strategy and real-time combat.

With over 100 unique cards depicting fierce warriors and various items, players can strengthen their decks and master combinations of abilities and skills for victory in battles. The thrill is amplified as players engage in real-time skirmishes, offering a refreshing sense of speed and adrenaline, while the turn-based gameplay caters to those who prefer a more strategic approach. At the heart of winning battles lies the armor-break mechanic, which allows players to strip away enemies' defenses, paving the way for devastating attacks.

The Legacy of Queen’s Blade

The 'Queen’s Blade' franchise, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025, first made waves in 2005 as a competitive visual book series. The unique approach of expressing individual characters within a singular book, combined with the captivating character designs crafted by top creators, garnered attention across the globe. The series expanded with a highly successful figure line in 2006 and a TV anime adaptation in 2009, which led to the production of three seasons. In 2017, a reboot titled 'Queen’s Blade UNLIMITED' was released, and currently, the comic series 'Nanashi’s Reborn Queen’s Blade' is gaining immense popularity. 'Queen’s Blade Re:Build' returns to the origins of the franchise, merging classic elements with contemporary gaming mechanics.

The Game Story

In the world of Queen’s Blade, a tournament is held to determine the queen of the continent. According to a long-standing tradition, the strongest woman shall rule the land. Those who participate in this contest are known as “beautiful fighters.” They put their lives and pride on the line, embarking on an endless quest for dominance. Players will follow the journey of a beautiful fighter, facing a destiny filled with the potential for glory or the sting of defeat—only combat will reveal the outcome.
