Ahead of a full release on PC, Xbox One and PS4.
Magic Legends, a new RPG based on the popular card game, will go into an open beta on PC in March 2021, Perfect World and Cryptic today announced.
The beta begins on 23 March and will help to inform Cryptic ahead of the game’s official launch on PC, Xbox One and PS4 later in 2021.
“The new year ushers in a new era for
Magic: Legends,” said Yoon Im, CEO of Perfect World Entertainment. “The chorus of gamers eager to join
Magic: Legends’ beta has been both exciting and humbling to us all. We are thrilled to finally announce that both Magic and ARPG fans will get to explore the Magic: The Gathering world we’ve brought to life and ignite their Spark this Spring.”
Magic: Legends will hold an open beta ahead of launch
Magic: Legends is due for launch later this year, and ahead of its official release date, Perfect World will run an open beta of its deckbuilding RPG game. The open beta on PC will begin March 23, and it will be a chance for everyone to get an early crack at wielding powerful Magic: The Gathering spells in real time.
We had a chance to go hands-on with Magic: Legends at PAX East last year, and we came away impressed with how well the free-to-play MMO manages to fuse the very rules-based card mechanics of Magic: The Gathering with the fast pace of an action RPG game like Diablo or Path of Exile. The abilities you use in combat are drawn from a deck into a hand, and each time you play a spell it’s replaced with another, pulled from the deck you’ve assembled yourself. Every spell you see in the game is a card you can collect and add to your deck, and somehow this all manages to work together marvelously well.
