In 2012, Fantasy Flight Games launched Android: Netrunner The Card Game. With innovative mechanics revised from the classic collectible card game, combined with the dystopian, cyberpunk future of the Android universe, Android: Netrunner has enthralled thousands of players over the course of its two core sets, a campaign expansion, five deluxe expansions, and eight cycles of Data Packs.

Wizards of the Coast has been a fantastic partner to us over the past six years, and we at Fantasy Flight Games are incredibly thankful to them for letting us play with the game system that they pioneered. However, as much as we have enjoyed developing Android: Netrunner, our current licensing term is coming to an end, and today, Fantasy Flight Games must announce the end of Android: Netrunner The Card Game.

Starting on October 22nd, 2018, Fantasy Flight Games will no longer offer for sale any Android: Netrunner The Card Game products, including Android: Netrunner playmats and card sleeves.

I remember having a good run with it a few years back. Looks like Core 2.0 didn't keep it afloat too long.
Not too surprising, the entry requirement was quite steep, and not necessary money-wise. It was quite skill intensive and it was a safe bet for veteran players to mop the floor with new guys.
Still, salute to a damn fine game.

The cards can still be purchased and played. Casually games at home with friends.

The announcement states there will be no new cards printed.

The tournament support will probably fade away. There might be some fans that keep the game alive. I still attend Star Trek CCG tournaments.
