Two powerhouses combine to create a new game.

Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) has joined forces with Wizards of the Coast to develop Magic: The Gathering - Tactics, a new online, 3D turn-based strategy game based in the Magic: The Gathering Multiverse. The new game will allow players to to control forces made up of cards from the Magic: The Gathering Multiverse and engage in scenarios or PvP play. The game is being developed by SOE's Denver studio and is slated for release on PC in early 2010 with a Playstation 3 release soon to follow.

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.
