To celebrate 30 years of Magic: The Gathering, brand-new collections based on everything from Fallout to a Wild West-themed set are coming in the not-so-distant future.
Unveiled at Gen Con (the year's biggest event when it comes to the best board games), three years' worth of Magic: The Gathering sets were teased by publisher Wizards of the Coast. Over 15 different projects ended up being revealed in total, but leading the charge were various 'Universes Beyond' collections based on some of video gaming's biggest names. Alongside pre-made Commander decks based on the Fallout series that are due to launch in early 2024, we now know that Assassin's Creed and Final Fantasy cards are on the way too. The latter two will apparently feature every game released in those franchises to date.
Original MTG sets were announced as well. Along with a little more info on Wilds of Eldraine and Lost Caverns of Ixalan that were covered at MagicCon in Barcelona, the detective-themed Murders at Karlov Manor will apparently be touching down in the first quarter of 2024. This will be followed by the Wild West-tinged Outlaws of Thunder Junction in the second quarter, and the year will close out with two very different sets - the cute world of Bloomburrow that features anthropomorphic animals kinda like Redwall, followed by one based on 1980s horror movies called Duskmorn: House of Horror.
We even got info on far-off sets that don't even have names yet, launching in 2025 and 2026. One tackles the racing genre with a "death race across three different worlds," while another takes us to the stars for a grand space opera.
I've listed everything we know about these sets below.
If you want to get a better look at the above, you can catch the full MTG Gen Con stream via Magic's Youtube channel.
