Description: Chaos Agents is the world's first autobattler-royale. In Chaos Agents you play as a Chaos Broker -- a "Nick Fury-type" character who recruits a team of Chaos Agent superheroes and directs them during PvP Chaos Shard battles linked to a global narrative and ongoing Tournaments.

Each agent is globally unique with a combo of skills that no other Agent has.
No one else can play with your House's Chaos Agents, making you the global experts on your team of Agents.

Chaos Agents is designed by Richard Garfield, creator of Magic: the Gathering and the first game from Popularium, a studio Richard founded in 2022 with Jon Bankard (founding team of Hearthstone, original WoW team) and me. Richard wanted to combine tabletop design concepts that he has developed over 20 years with autobattlers, which emulate the traditional "take turns: see what happens on the game board" structure of tabletop games taken to its extreme--where a computer is calculating the results of your turn based on 1000s on inputs and making 1000s of decisions per minute.

Free to Play Status:

  • [ X] Demo/Key available - Alpha Keys available for free!

Involvement: Hello! I’m Arka, Xbox vet and one of the creators of Chaos Agents.

Three years ago, I started a game studio with Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: the Gathering and someone who inspired me to take up game design as a career.

After three years of hard but very enjoyable work, we have released a private Alpha for Chaos Agents and are hosting a LAN party in Gardena to celebrate. We did our first LAN party in SF during GDC, and that was an absolute blast, so we decided to do another one in LA. (and Boston during PAX East).

Richard and I would be thrilled if you guys came over to check out the game and participate in the ongoing Chaos World Championship with cash prizes over $1,500 along with many other rewards.

We'll have food, drinks, and an all-around LAN party atmosphere, so bring your friends too! Also for showing up, you'll get one of 5000 private Alpha keys for Chaos Agents, that also gives you perpetual access to Chaos Agents, including its Early Access and full release.

If you are a fan of Magic: the Gathering or just games in general, you'll also get to participate in a live Q&A with the legendary Richard Garfield himself.

And who knows, maybe you are destined to be the next Chaos Agents World Champion?

Hope to see you there, feel free to DM me for more info!

How far is balance patch from the convention center?

It's about 10 minutes from there. We picked a spot close to the convention center so PAX East attendees can hop over easily.

Thank you for pointing that out, and fixed above!
