A fresh take on card battlers

  • Mutants: Genesis is an upcoming card battler on iOS and Android
  • Step foot into the role of Psycog
  • Set to release on May 20th

After two years in early access, Mutants: Genesis is finally stepping into the spotlight with a full launch set for later this month on PC, iOS, and Android. Developed by Celsius Online, this isn't your usual card battler. It’s a competitive, animated spectacle where your deck doesn’t just hit the board - it comes alive on it.

Set in a corporate-dominated future where everything is up for conquest, Mutants: Genesis puts you in the role of a Psycog, combat strategist, mutant handler, and arena tactician all rolled into one.  Your mission is to build a deck, summon genetically modified mutants, and dominate through sheer strategy and evolution. 

Each card transforms into a 3D creature right on the field, making every battle feel like a mini arena brawl straight out of a sci-fi blockbuster. The full release brings over 200 cards across six gene types, each with a distinct playstyle and synergistic potential. That means you’re not just building a deck - you’re crafting a mutant war machine.
