MagicCon attendees got a first look at some of the upcoming new products and collabs in store for Magic: The Gathering, and it’s already setting up 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 this sneak peek below:
While June may feel like a long way away, there’s tons more for Magic: The Gathering fans to check out in the meantime. The next reveal was a deep dive into the upcoming Foundations set, coming out on Nov. 15, which will be a must-have for Magic players, new and old. Featuring fan-favorite characters from Magic’s 30-year history, this set will also be legal to play in standard format through 2029, so fans are sure to see cards from this set in rotation soon.
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. 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 collab 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 collab with Marvel, using the world of Spider-Man in a booster set. With all the new releases to look forward to, fans are sure to find a new set to love!
