Culdcept Begins arrives on Steam at 6,380 yen with new maps

NEO'S released the PC (Steam) version of Culdcept Begins on October 27, 2026, bringing the card-battling board game to a new platform with extra content. The Steam edition is priced at 6,380 yen and is 10% off until November 11.

The PC version adds three new battle maps: X, Fortune Array and Holy Hammer. It also introduces ten new book cover designs — five drawn from the developers' favorite creature series and five based on maps. According to gamespark.jp, the selections were made by members of the development team, including the series producer and the game designer.

The card encyclopedia in this version reads card names aloud, and three usability changes target battles: improved visibility of character positions, easier card selection in info screens and clearer display of branch directions.

NEO'S said a free update carrying the same additions and fixes is planned for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 versions soon.
