MagicCon attendees got a first look at some of the upcoming new products and collaborations in store for Magic: The Gathering and it’s already establishing 2025 to be a promising year. One of the first major reveals was an upcoming “Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond” set, which features characters, monsters, and summons from the Final Fantasy franchise. The art for this set will be made by both the Magic and Square Enix teams, making this the largest collection of Final Fantasy artwork in any game. The set is slated for June 13, 2025, as its release date, and will have a digital component available to play on Magic: The Gathering Arena. Check out the trailer below:
Zakeel Gordon, Product Architect at Wizards of the Coast, says regarding the collaboration: “This collaboration is more than just cards. It’s about celebrating decades of iconic characters, legendary stories, and unforgettable moments from one of the most beloved franchises in gaming history. Final Fantasy fans will get to experience these characters in an entirely new way — through the strategic depth and storytelling of Magic: The Gathering.”
The next reveal was a deep dive into the upcoming Foundations set, which will be released on Nov. 15. Featuring fan-favorite characters from Magic’s 30-year history, this set will also be legal to play in standard format through 2029. Next, Wizards of the Coast covered several additional releases that will be coming in the new year. In January, the beloved gothic setting of Innistrad will be seeing a remastered version with framed and movie poster cards. In February, fans can experience the new Aetherdrift set, which sets players in a high-stakes death race across three separate planes to win and earn the coveted Aetherspark trophy. In April, players will have the opportunity to return to the world of Tarkir in Tarkir: Dragonstorm, with gameplay priorities moving to factionalized clans and implementing Dragons appearing through the Dragonstorms.
From there, fans will have the Final Fantasy collaboration in June, followed by the Edge of Eternities in August, which offers a science fantasy adventure in the galaxy of Sothera. Wizards of the Coast also revealed the eventual release of a multi-year Universes Beyond collaboration with Marvel, using the world of Spider-Man in a booster set. Visit the Magic: The Gathering website for more details on the upcoming releases, and look for the Foundations set in your local independent game stores, toy stores, and hobby shops on Nov. 15.
