Developer PlayFusion, along with Publisher Games Workshop, will be bringing this trading-card game-with-a-twist to consoles for the very first time. In addition to using the digital cards included in the game, players who own compatible physical cards will also be able to scan and use them on the Nintendo Switch. This feature, unique to Age of Sigmar: Champions, offers a unique entry point into the TCG genre, ensuring that anyone can play the game at no extra cost.
