14 DAY TRIAL // Dark Alliance is not the only game revealed by Wizards of the Coast at The Game Awards, but its second game is also not a single-player gameplay experience. Magic: Legends is a new MMO action RPG set in the Magic: The Gathering universe.
The game is developed by Cryptic Studios and published by Perfect World Entertainment, the duo behind the Neverwinter MMORPG. Magic: Legends lets players step in the shoes of powerful, spell-wielding Planeswalkers of their own creation.
“It’s an incredible time to be a Magic: The Gathering fan. As huge fans ourselves, we are excited to once again collaborate with Wizards of the Coast. With its rich, immersive worlds and satisfying spellcasting system, Magic creates the perfect setting for an MMO action RPG spun into an epic fantasy adventure that players will want to continue exploring for years to come,” said Yoon Im, CEO of Perfect World Entertainment.
Besides the announcement trailed showcased at The Game Awards, nothing else is known about the game, but Perfect World said official product details and game features for Magic: Legends will be revealed in January 2020, so just one month from now.
“We continue to expand the Magic: The Gathering multiverse, bringing our passionate fans unique, immersive Magic experiences across their favorite entertainment platforms. Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios’ Magic: Legends immerses fans into the Magic multiverse as a Planeswalker - a multiverse that continues to develop through Magic: The Gathering, Arena, novels and upcoming Netflix animated series,” said Eugene Evans, Wizards of the Coast Vice President of Business Development.
One other thing worth mentioning is that Cryptic Games plans beta test the game in 2020. Those who are interested in being the very first to experience the upcoming Magic: Legends MMO action RPG can sign up for the game's first beta test on the official website.
