Read the press release from UVS Games about their recent rebrand and the titles they are working with in the future:

For over 17 years, Jasco Games has brought fans together to play, share, and enjoy collectible card games. Our favorite comic books, anime series, and CCGs have always had a next chapter, and we are excited to announce our next chapter. Welcome to UVS Games.

Our community already knows our UniVersus Collectible Card Game. They have gathered together weekly at their local game store to play our ever-expanding game that pits the world’s best fighters and characters against one another to settle the dispute of who would win in a battle.

As UVS Games, we are excited to launch new products that bridge the worlds of video games, manga, and anime. To that end, as our first act as UVS Games, we are excited to announce fan favorites My Hero Academia and Cowboy Bebop and the debut of Trigun Stampede to the UniVersus Collectible Card Game.

We are bringing so many franchises and characters to UniVersus, that we needed to create a new type of product to handle them all, introducing the Challenger Series. The Challenger Series: Cowboy Bebop* and Challenger Series: Trigun Stampede will each feature two character cards, a preconstructed deck ready for tournament play, and a Collector’s Booster Pack of six alt-art foil premium cards. The deck will feature mechanically unique cards only found in the Challenger Series.

Cowboy Bebop, a franchise known to UniVersus players, returns with Spike, Bounty Hunter, and Faye. Vash the Stampede and Nicholas D. Wolfwood from the smash hit TV show Trigun Stampede will join the UniVersus Collectible Card Game system. These iconic franchises have captivated audiences worldwide, and our community will be able to boost or battle existing UniVersus decks or build new ones using cards from the Challenger Series. 

“Our recent rebrand to UVS Games with a new logo and card back will have players buzzing with anticipation. Cowboy Bebop, Trigun Stampede, and My Hero Academia franchises coming to the UniVersus card-collecting franchise marks the beginning of our new brand UVS Games.  We can’t wait to share even more exciting news in the coming year as we continue to invest in and acquire creatively-driven companies producing authentic products with loyal fan bases in the interactive space. We truly believe long-term community building is far more important than short-term bottom line returns.”   Paul Wharshavsky, co-founder, UVS Games 

“Our goals are to provide fans, no matter their background or level of experience, with accessible top-notch, high-quality collectible cards and content while also building strong relationships with them through exciting events such as tournaments or live streams where they can come together, share stories while having fun and creating lifelong memories playing these games.”  Luohan Wei, co-founder, UVS Games 

UVS Games is just beginning. Recently, we announced the return of My Hero Academia with a Collectible Card Game Set called My Hero Academia: Jet Burn, which will include fan-favorite character Hawks as well as a new type of collectible card to the UniVersus world: alternate art cards featuring characters from Jet Burn and previous My Hero Academia sets. Jet Burn will be the first release to feature the new UniVersus card logo and card frame, and we have released a first look at Hawks and Hawk’s Feather cards in the set, which can be viewed here. The My Hero Academia: Jet Burn game set will be available worldwide in time for the holiday season. 

Watch out for more announcements as we continue to add world-famous IPs to our existing UniVersus Collectible Card Game line-up, which includes My Hero Academia, Street Fighter, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat, and more. UniVersus Collectible Card Game system is fast-paced and features cross-platform compatibility and flexible rulesets for easy customization, allowing players to create decks featuring characters from different universes. The UniVersus CCG system is backward-compatible with the Universal Fighting System card game.

Stay tuned for more details and previews of these upcoming products soon. Please visit us at UVSgames.com and https://twitter.com/UniVersusCCG.

*Challenger Series: Cowboy Bebop is only available in North, Central, and South America and is TBD for other regions, more details to come.

About Cowboy Bebop

The Bebop crew is just trying to make a buck. This motley lot of intergalactic loners teams up to track down fugitives and turn them in for cold hard cash. Spike is a hero whose cool façade hides a dark and deadly past. The pilot Jet is a bruiser of a brute who can’t wait to collect the next bounty. Faye Valentine is a femme fatale prone to breaking hearts and separating fools from their money. Along for the ride are the brilliant but weird hacker Ed and a super-genius Welsh Corgi named Ein.

About TRIGUN STAMPEDE

Vash the Stampede’s a joyful gunslinging pacifist, so why does he have a $$6 million bounty on his head? That’s what’s puzzling rookie reporter Meryl Stryfe and her jaded veteran partner when looking into the vigilante only to find someone who hates blood. But their investigation turns out to uncover something heinous—his evil twin brother, Millions Knives
