Preview Season starts today! Join us as we spend the next two weeks plus taking a look at what we can see from Netrunner’s new Vantage Point!
Keep it locked right here on the Null Signal Games site over the next week as we bring you some of the key cards from the new set, as well as stories from the world of Netrunner and insights from our Design, Development, Visual and Format teams.
Then things really ramp up from next Friday (February 20th), when content creators and other contributors from across the Netrunner community will start unveiling their own previews, continuing until February 28th. The last few remaining cards from the set will be revealed back here on our site on launch day, March 2nd.
For a quick shortcut to all the articles and previews on our site, use the following links:
- Articles tagged “Vantage Point previews”
- Articles tagged “Vantage Point fiction”
- Cards previewed so far on NetrunnerDB
Revealed cards will be uploaded to NetrunnerDB at 3am UTC on the day after they become public if they were previewed on our website. They will be uploaded 24 hours later than that if they were previewed by community content creators.
