New Magic: The Gathering game on the way

PS3 News | And it’s a turn-based strategy.
Sony Online Entertainment, alongside Wizards of the Coast have announced Magic: The Gathering - Tactics, a new game based on the popular collectible card game, being developed for both the PlayStation 3 and PC.

Forgoing the traditional card game Magic is famous for, this new title will feature turn-based gameplay and 3D visuals, allowing players to battle with the armies and spells found within the Magic multiverse.

Tactics will have a robust online presence, allowing player verse player combat, as well as tournaments, content expansions and a full ranking system. For those not so inclined to jump online, Tactics will offer multiple single player scenarios and challenges, and new storylines to uncover from the Magic franchise.

Scheduled for release sometime next year, more information as well as the teaser trailer can be found on the official website.

It will be interesting in how they going to do it. Like for Magic Battlegrounds, it was quite a good game icon_biggrin.gif . What makes me worry though is it seems to be very online orientated... as long as I get to play with the people I want, I'm happy icon_biggrin.gif

I liked one of the old games, I think it was on PS1.

But this teaser trailer looks a very D grade production. Hopefully it's not where the game is headed.

Hope it becomes more polished and gets released in an iPhone version. That'd be the perfect device for it.

I really hope this game is good but i will need more info on it. XBLA game would of been amazing if it had more cards and more choice over what you have in your deck. If it ticks all the boxes i have it will be an instant purchase for me.

If it's anything like the old PS1 game I remember then I'll be all over this.
