Magic: The Gathering <\/em>will continue expanding this year\u2014both for fans of its crossover sets, and those all in on the primary game.<\/p>\n

At Friday\u2019s Magic Con, Wizards of the Coast announced several new sets, with the main course being Reality Fracture<\/em>.\u00a0Releasing in October, the set will wrap up the game\u2019s current arc wherein Planeswalker Jace has created an alternate universe so he can undo damage previously caused by the Phyrexians and Eldrazi. The Echoverse introduces new versions of popular Magic\u00a0<\/em>characters, like Chandra having ice magic rather than her usual fire.<\/p>\n

Fracture\u2019s <\/em>creative and narrative lead Meris Mullaley told Polygon the new versions of Chandra and other mainstays like Ajani and Garruk are born from Jace\u2019s goal to make \u201cthe perfect multiverse, [which] comes with some of his own biases. Chandra\u2019s impulsiveness was something he bumped up against a lot. Where did that come from, what in her life shaped her to be that way? As Jace is crafting his multiverse, he\u2019s like, \u2018What if her dad didn\u2019t die? What if he and Chandra were helping run Avishkar?’\u201d<\/p>\n

On the crossover front, Wizards is going back to Middle-earth with a Hobbit<\/em> set for Magic: The Gathering<\/em>. Following the Lord of the Rings\u00a0<\/em>set from 2023, the characters and locations of J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s prequel will get their own cards, with legacy characters like Gandalf and Bilbo receiving updates. If that weren\u2019t enough, some cards have artwork similar to book covers, and others are done in the dwarven language.<\/p>\n

Wizards of the Coast will bring\u00a0The Hobbit\u00a0<\/em>to\u00a0Magic: The Gathering\u00a0<\/em>on August 14, and\u00a0Reality Fracture\u00a0<\/em>will hit stores on October 2. You can read about Wizards\u2019 upcoming, fully new game Mood Swings\u00a0<\/em>here.<\/p>\n
