Alpha Clash PvE is Back!
Rising Empire Studios is excited to announce the launch of our second player-versus-environment (PvE) experience: The Vault Trials, accompanied by the expansion booster product, Spoils of the Vault.
This release offers players a fresh, solo or cooperative game that drops players directly into a new raid scenario where they will face the Trial of Identity, Trial of Time and Trial of Combat. This Raid Experience scenario comes directly from Cosmic Conquest: A Purpose for Death, the fourth comic book issue of the Alpha Clash series. This PvE and expansion Booster Box are slated to release the week of June 22nd, 2026.

Exclusivity
This isn’t just a Raid. Inside this box you’ll find two ready-to-play decks that feature brand new exclusive Contenders, as well as 8x new exclusive cards and 9x alternate arts.
How Do I Get It?
Clashers can get their hands on this release through three channels:
Team Covenant: Pre-orders are live now (including a Vault PvE Bundle)
Champion Stores: Available now through your store portal
Distribution Partners: Ordering details have been sent
Following the demand we saw with the last Spoils expansion, availability may be limited. This is also our most complete PvE offering to date, and arguably the best entry point into Alpha Clash we’ve ever offered. It’s a fully self-contained experience featuring solo and cooperative gameplay, two decks usable across all Alpha Clash gameplay formats, and exclusive cards you won’t find anywhere else.
Spoils of the Vault - Evolving the Game
To complement the PvE experience, we’re introducing Spoils of the Vault: a limited booster expansion packed with cards designed to shine in both PvE and traditional Alpha Clash games. Every pack includes new tools, alternate arts, and high-rarity upgrades for any Clasher.
56 Exclusive Cards: Hunt down 56 different exclusive cards, including all-new designs and 4 Contender alternate arts — only available in this release.
Cards to Find: 17 Common, 13 Uncommon, 9 Rare, 6 Epic, 6 Ink, 4 Iconic, 5 Legendary, and 2 Alpha Rare cards can be found. These cards feature fan favorite archetypes, including a strong focus on the Harbinger affiliation.
Case Toppers: Iconic Rare cards also appear in Gold double-sided variants as special Case Toppers.
Booster Box Details: Each Booster Box contains 20 packs, with 5 cards in every pack.
Case Configuration: Every Booster Case includes 6 Booster Boxes full of Spoils.
PvE-Ready Cards: Arm yourself with cards specifically designed to take on the threats of The Vault.
Player-Versus-Player Support: Discover new support for fan-favorite affiliations, high-impact actions, and competitive upgrades for standard Alpha Clash play.
Organized Play: Level Up Your Game Nights with Spoils of the Vault
The Vault Trials isn’t just a one-off adventure — it’s the continuation of the era of Alpha Clash Organized Play! With the introduction of Spoils of the Vault, we’re empowering stores and communities to run unforgettable raid nights, competitive PvE leagues, and special weekend tournaments that keep every player coming back for more.
How It Works
League & Event Support: Each Spoils of the Vault box is tailor-made for Organized Play, containing packs of five cards designed as “treasures” or “Spoils” for players who take on the raid. Whether you defeat the Guardian Angel or simply dare to try, everyone gets a shot at earning exclusive rewards.
Flexible Prize Structure: Organizers can use Spoils packs as end-of-session loot, achievement unlocks, participation prizes, or even rare bounties. This lets stores reward teamwork, attendance, recruitment, and skill — not just victory.
Month-Long PvE Leagues: Champion Stores could run ongoing league play where every session, win or lose, helps earn more Spoils.
Tournament-Ready: The Vault Trials and Spoils of the Vault are built for large-group, multi-round formats as well, letting dozens of players compete, cooperate, and walk away with real treasure.
Why It Matters
Alpha Clash Organized Play is about more than just winning — it’s about fun and building a community. Play with friends, recruit new faces, and help your local game store become the home base for unforgettable Alpha Clash experiences.
The Vault Trials and Spoils of the Vault make every night at your Champion Store feel like a new adventure. Get ready to raid, collect, and clash together — because the best loot is the stories you’ll share.
We’ll be showing off more of the Vault Trials and all of the Spoils of the Vault cards as we lead up to release. Are you Ready to Raid?
