Unleashing Epic Marvel Magic: The Gathering Collaboration in an Unprecedented Multi-Set Alliance
Marvel and Hasbro join forces for an epic collaboration, uniting the beloved Marvel comics universe with the enchanting world of Magic: The Gathering Prepare for an extraordinary multi-year, multi-set partnership that will ignite the imaginations of fans and redefine the boundaries of epic storytelling
Marvel and Hasbro have reached an agreement to introduce the renowned Marvel comics universe into Magic: The Gathering through a long-term, multi-set collaboration. The addition of Doctor Who, Fallout, and Lord of the Rings to the game's Universes Beyond has already proven to be highly successful for Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast. Furthermore, a special set featuring characters from Final Fantasy is also in development.
Hasbro recently revealed that WOTC plans to introduce the Marvel universe into the Magic franchise. This exciting collaboration will span across multiple sets and continue for several years, starting from 2025. While details about the specific superheroes involved are scarce, Hasbro has confirmed that the venture will commence with a prominent Magic set, referred to as a "tentpole" release, akin to the magnitude of the Lord of the Rings launch.
Marvel & Magic: The Gathering launching full sets in latest crossover
This initial event will feature "beloved characters adored by fans". It can be assumed that Spider-Man, given the character's current enormous popularity, will be one of them.
Speaking in a press release, Cynthia Williams, President of Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro Digital Gaming said:
We are thrilled to partner with Marvel in introducing its renowned characters to fans worldwide through innovative means.
These groundbreaking sets will continue the legacy of integrating well-loved characters and elements from top-tier brands into Magic: The Gathering.
Dan Buckley, President of Marvel Comics and Franchise also added:
“Trading cards have always been a part of Marvel’s DNA, so this collaboration takes that experience to a whole new level.
The depth of our storytelling and characters in the Marvel Universe makes us eager for fans to witness the seamless integration of gameplay in these Magic: The Gathering products and sets for years to come. Despite the initial backlash over limited, functionally unique cards in Universes Beyond, it quickly became one of the best-selling sets ever with Lord of the Rings, indicating that the era of crossovers shows no signs of slowing down.
