SONY ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT AND WIZARDS OF THE COAST COLLABORATE TO DEVELOP MAGIC: THE GATHERING -TACTICS
Online, 3D Turn-Based Strategy Game Scheduled for Launch in Early 2010
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.

Hopefully way more in depth and robust than the 360 venture.
Wizards of the Coast isn’t known for doing a very good job with digital games.
They should just make like a Yu-Gi-Oh style game where you get points for winning matches and even points for beating another human buy cards and build up your digital collection.
I think doing that and charging maybe 10-20 dollars for a PSN game with a platinum and then adding 10 dollars per new expansion, would be the best way for them
Maybe they could do a 30 dollar PSN game but if they make more than 15 per expansion at that point I think it would hurt them. I mean people would be excited about paying for expansions if it prolong’s their enjoyment of a game and gets them trophies.
I love MTG but it’s too expensive to keep up with if you can’t find local players.
Wow. I’ve been hoping for this for a while. Hope it turns out well!
could be pretty cool, i will check it out
I wonder if this will be something like Eye of Judgment? They need to get the PSEye back in to rotation, motion controller not withstanding.
been contemplating this on the marketplace but now that its coming to ps3 i may have to finally get it lol.
I’ve played the card game when I was a child. I’m definitely looking forward to this.
I havn’t played Magic since before there as an Internet, lol

That’s why SOE’s doing most of the work.
