  "textContent": "Two new _Culdcept_ games are on the way, with _Culdcept the First_ heading to the PC and _Culdcept Begins_ showing up on the Switch, Switch 2, and PC. While the latter first appeared in the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase February 2026 montage, the former only appeared when the Steam page launched.\n\n_Culdcept Begins_ is the entry with a confirmed release date. That will show up on consoles on July 16, 2026. The Steam page for that only shows a 2026 window, so it is unknown if that will also be available at the same time. The page for _Culdcept the First_ only notes “coming soon” and doesn’t even mention if it will show up in 2026.\n\nBoth games feature similar gameplay, as they are board games that also blend in JRPG, TCG, and creature-collecting mechanics. You build up a deck of cards that includes monsters, spells, and items. Your goal as a Cepter is to defeat enemies and maintain territory on the board by installing your creatures in spots. It can almost feel a bit similar to _Itadaki Street_ or _Monopoly_ in terms of the conquering parts of the board. _Culdcept the First_ is an updated release of the classic game, which adds features like quick saves and loads, bonus pack reward adjustments, and a rewind feature.\n\nHere’s the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase montage that included _Culdcept Begins_ clips.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFgscsKBMH4\n\nAnd you can see the first _Culdcept the First_ trailer below.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHSea4GfAdc\n\n_Culdcept Begins_ will come to the Switch and Switch 2 on July 16, 2026, with a PC version confirmed. _Culdcept the First_ is also on the way to PCs.\n\nThe post Culdcept the First and Culdcept Begins Games Revealed appeared first on Siliconera.",
