DENVER, Colo. – November 2, 2009 – Today, Sony Online Entertainment LLC, and Wizards of the Coast LLC announced they are developing Magic: The Gathering – Tactics, an online, 3D turn-based strategy game played within the rich Magic: The Gathering Multiverse.

“By collaborating with Wizards of the Coast, we’re able to combine the strengths of both companies to develop an innovative, online, 3D game based on an extremely popular IP,” said John Smedley, president, Sony Online Entertainment. “We’re going to be taking the Magic: The Gathering Multiverse places players have never seen.”

“The growing Magic: The Gathering community has an insatiable desire for great strategic game experiences. Sony Online Entertainment is the perfect partner to transform the best of Magic’s story, strategy and competitive play into a fantastic ‘Tactics’ game experience for current and new Magic fans,” said Greg Leeds, president, Wizards of the Coast.

Magic: The Gathering - Tactics will allow players to command forces of dramatic 3D figures and powerful spell cards pulled from the Magic: The Gathering Multiverse. Players can participate in single player scenarios or jump right into PVP action against other players worldwide, 24 hours per day. Magic: The Gathering – Tactics is expected to feature regular content expansions, a robust tournament environment, an achievement and rankings program, and original stories of the Planeswalkers of Magic: The Gathering.

Magic: The Gathering - Tactics is being developed by SOE’s Denver studio and scheduled to be available for the PC in early 2010, with a version for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system to follow.

Interesting.

Very interesting.

Why post this in MMORPG general?

And meh. FF tactics II I'd buy. MTG? I'll have to keep an eye open but... dunno.

Piece of shit teaser video. And also turn based + multiplayer fail. I want to wait for some 12 year old to go take out the trash for 10 minutes between turns. No really, I do.

Early 2010 release and that's all wotc could muster for their 'massive surprise'?

Also, not an MMO or an RPG.

Hopefully its similar to PoxNora without the scam (part that i doubt). Could still be fun.

Will be more like MTG then FFT I am sure, they won't release a full game. It will be here is the engine now buy lots and lots of avatars(instead of cards) to play.

As long as it's not just the last magic game for xbox reskinned and they let you build your decks, it's going to be good. If they create good framework for the turns and stack, it's going to be awesome. If someone hacks it to support every card ever created it's going to be tits.

Counterspell fizzles. Too bad, so sad.

It doesn't fizzle because he could have never played it in the first place with CoS out.

Never could get into the whole card thing... every douche I know that plays them sits in the same spot during lunch every single day! It was bad enough in college. Grad school just seems to have grouped them up even more.
