Magic: The Gathering Tactics Coming Next Week
A grid-based version of the trading card game phenomenon will be free to play. Take a look at the new screens and video.
The new game is headed to PCs on January 18th, and looks to be a fun spin-off of the classic tabletop card game. Players choose one of several mana sources that decide what units you'll have access to in the game. The game is free-to-play, but it looks as if there will be microtransactions available to expand your collection of units, not unlike buying new cards for your deck.
Sony Online Entertainment just released several new screenshots for the game, which we've included in the media gallery below. There's also a recent video log from the developers, if you'd care to learn more.
While this initial release will only allow for play on PC, Magic: The Gathering Tactics will hit PS3 later in the year.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
