From Local Champion to World's Best.

Following the opening of Asgartha’s gates last September, the brave explorers of the Tumult have intensified their efforts in the exploration. Your first major step was the Tumult Championship, where you faced off against the most skilled players in your region and encountered the champions from various local stores in exciting tournaments.

But your journey doesn't conclude here; it's truly just the start, and we are thrilled to introduce the World Championship competitive circuit, launching in June 2025.

Competitive Circuit Stages

The Altered World Championships in 2025 will use a multi-stage global competitive circuit to ensure fair qualification for all players, regardless of location, offering a clear and accessible path to the highest level of competition through three key phases.

  • World Championship Qualifiers

    The first steps of the World Championships are the World Championship Qualifiers (June-September 2025), held locally with partners and online via Board Game Arena. These events will give top national players a direct path to the finals, and a total of 24 players worldwide will qualify through these physical and virtual competitions.

  • Last Chance Qualifier

    A Last Chance Qualifier will be held in France in Autumn 2025 during the same event as the World Championship Finals themselves, offering an opportunity for determined players to win one of the last 8 spots, joining the 24 already qualified.

  • World Championship Finals

    The World Championship Finals, the highlight of Altered's first competitive year, will be held in France the day after the Last Chance Qualifier. This final event aims to be a major community celebration of Altered's first anniversary, where the first World Champion will be crowned.

Rewards

Rewards may vary depending on the specific championship and the partner responsible for its organization. We wanted to give you a sneak peek at the exclusive prizes you will have the opportunity to win by participating in the Altered qualifying championships. More information regarding how to obtain each of these rewards will be coming soon. The reward plan will be communicated directly by your tournament organizer.

To maximize our global presence and provide widespread qualification opportunities, we are partnering with various organizations worldwide. Every qualifier is accessible to all who wish to participate. While some information is still being determined, we will be updating this page with complete details in the following weeks.
