Zenonzard is a new style of card battle game, featuring a specialized AI 
developed by HEROZ Kishin, an artificial intelligence leader in Japan. Dubbed 
"ACI" or "Artificial Card Intelligence," this technology is different from its 
pre-defined pattern-based predecessors, with one in-game variation boasting an 
astounding 99.26% win rate over players in Japan. Zenonzard also provides 
players with their own ACI assistants, who will learn and grow as they battle, 
adding a refreshing new element to the genre.

Players will be offered a choice of "Buddy AIs" from a colorful cast of 
characters called as "codemen." These codemen will give players advice during 
battles, offering their input on everything from card choice to offensive and 
defensive strategies, allowing players to learn the gameplay. Codemen can also 
be consulted when constructing decks or when replaying past matches through 
battle reports, so even the newest of card game fans will feel at ease with the 
ACI.

Pre-registration will begin in early April 2020 and a special Zenonzard 
Campaign will be held at select trading card shops in the United States. Visit 
a participating store to receive an exclusive booklet featuring all kinds of 
information about the game, as well as a real card sleeve.
