The TCG was produced for nearly seven years, when it was announced on 23 August 2013 that Set 21, Timewalkers: Reign of Fire would be the last set made.The announcement came a week after the closed beta started for the digital card game Hearthstone, a spiritual successor to the TCG which features many of the same characters, abilities and artwork.
