Since the announcement of the MMORPG based on the popular card game Magic: the Gathering, there has been little news about the game. Now there is a tiny sign of life and even a few details about the game.
What is the Magic: the Gathering MMORPG? Much is not yet known about the game. Cryptic Studios (Neverwinter, Star Trek Online) have been working on the title since summer 2017, which is not supposed to revolve around the cards of the TGC.
You will take on the role of a so-called Planeswalker, exploring interesting worlds, battling powerful creatures, and encountering the legendary beings that shape the fate of the multiverse.
According to the head of Cryptic Studios, Stephen D’Angelo, we can look forward to a AAA role-playing game, which focuses on the world and the story behind Magic: The Gathering. The studio aims to create a Magic like we have never experienced before.
It’s progressing
Why is so little known so far? The game was announced very early, probably at the time when preparations for development were just beginning. Therefore, there was hardly any information about the game at that time.
Will it really be an MMORPG? On the website of Cryptic Studios, it is stated that we can expect a Free2Play action MMORPG. This probably means that it has active and fast-paced combat. But yes, according to the description, we are getting an MMORPG.
What’s new now? Cryptic Studios have posted several open job positions. These include content designers, character artists, UI designers, and more. A community manager is also being sought. So work is still ongoing on the MMORPG.
Small hints about the MMO
What information do the job postings reveal? The content manager position states that they must work with system and level designers to develop challenging enemies, exciting events, and epic boss fights. This means we can expect such events and bosses.
The artists will be responsible for creating beautiful levels, impressive enemies, and a captivating design. And of course, the game needs a user-friendly UI.
What exactly does this mean? Looking at the job postings, it seems that Magic: The Gathering is indeed in the middle of development. New areas and monsters, as well as events, are expected to be created. This suggests that we might have to wait a bit longer until we can finally play the MMORPG.
The fact that a community manager is now being sought might indicate that Cryptic Studios will soon reveal more about the game and perhaps have a real website with forums in the works.
Magic: The Gathering is still deep in production, but we are slowly approaching the big reveal. However, we can look forward to exciting events and epic boss fights, which is already something.
