Set in the same planes/universe as Magic: The Gathering, publisher Perfect World Entertainment, and developer Cryptic Studios (creator of Neverwinter) proudly presented a beloved franchise coming alive with the action RPG Magic: Legends during the presentation at The Game Awards 2019 which will excite any Magic: The Gathering fans out there.
From cards to MMO infused with mana
Players will be able to immerse themselves into the acclaimed fictional Magic multiverse as a powerful, spell-wielding Planeswalker. Players will get to choose between five different classes that can be switchable between all five as you play.
“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.”

We’ve assembled a team of talented developers who are incredibly passionate about Magic: The Gathering and share a collective deep knowledge of the franchise. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to bring the multiverse to life in a way that fans have never experienced before.”
