Magic: Legends is an MMO set in the Magic: The Gathering universe

Perfect World and its subsidiary Cryptic Studios—known for Neverwinter, Star Trek Online, and City of Heroes—are developing a Magic: The Gathering MMO.

This has been known since 2017, when Cryptic announced "a new free-to-play, action MMORPG" based on Magic, without many other details. "As a Planeswalker, you explore amazing worlds, combat powerful creatures, and meet the legendary beings that shape the fate of the multiverse," the studio wrote at the time.

As of The Game Awards today, we now have a cinematic trailer (above) and a name: Magic: Legends. There isn't much more information on the official website—especially because, at the time of writing, it's down. When it comes back to life, though, you can sign up for the beta there.

We'll have more on Magic: Legends as soon as we know more.

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the '80s and '90s, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on early PCs. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!). Tyler joined PC Gamer in 2011, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
