Long before Hearthstone, HEX, and the avalanche of other games trying to cash in on the legitimized online lottery that is TCGs, there was the bizarre and wonderful hybrid Pox Nora. In fact, you MMORPG vets will likely remember the game from when it was published by SOE, though now the 2006 online tactical turn-based strategy game (“with collectible card and fantasy MMORPG elements”) flies under the flag of Desert Owl Games, which was founded by two of the game’s original creators. And Desert Owl has built on the game since the sale, most notably with last year’s expansion.

This year, however, Pox Nora will expand to console. The studio announced this week that its PS4 debut is set for May 23rd with proper cross-platform play and PC-to-PS4 account copying.

“To celebrate the console debut, Desert Owl Games will simultaneously deliver exclusive content to the PlayStation community that can be used against PC players via cross-play. PlayStation players will have access to all of Pox Nora’s currently-released PC expansions. Upon launching the game the first time, players will be awarded the ‘Ironfist Inquisition’ deck. They will also receive a bonus login pack for playing on PlayStation 4 and an additional pack if they have a PlayStation Plus account. An exclusive pack of eight character skins and special bundles packed with exclusive content is also available. Additionally, PC gamers will have the option to copy their existing PC account’s inventory to the PlayStation 4.”

Pox Nora will be free-to-play with optional microtransactions to purchase in-game currency for card packs” on console, Desert Owl says.
