Themed sets inMagic: The Gatheringcontinue to expand into different video game franchises. A few months ago, it was Assassin’s Creed’s turn, and recently, a new Marvel set was announced, set to hit stores in 2025.
At MagicCon Las Vegas, held from October 25-27, 2024, Wizards of the Coast presented a new themed set in the Magic: The Gathering Beyond the Multiverse collection, first teased in August 2023.
And, as you saw in the headline, it’s the role-playing franchise Final Fantasy. We’ll have to wait until 2025 to enjoy the set, but at least we now have the first details.
The Final Fantasy series by Square Enix will arrive on July 19, 2025, in Magic: The Gathering, bringing the rich stories, fascinating characters, and powerful summons of the JRPG series to the usual card game format.
The set will cover the entire Final Fantasy storyline, from the original 1987 game to Final Fantasy XVI, recently released for PC.
Additionally, the Final Fantasy set will also be available in digital format for the card game Magic: The Gathering Arena.
