Wizards of the Coast has unveiled an exciting new collaboration with one of the most iconic franchises in video game history: Final Fantasy. Launching on June 13, Magic: The Gathering – FINAL FANTASY celebrates the beloved RPG series by incorporating its characters, worlds, and iconic moments into the rich mechanics of Magic: The Gathering. Fans of both franchises can look forward to seeing legendary FINAL FANTASY characters depicted through the artistic lens of Magic: The Gathering. The set is now available for preorder at local game stores, online retailers like Amazon, and anywhere Magic products are sold.
This set represents the most extensive collection of FINAL FANTASY artwork ever compiled in a single game. Magic’s talented artists have reimagined unforgettable scenes from the franchise, while classic FINAL FANTASY illustrations will also be featured on various cards. The set includes over 100 legendary creature cards, bringing to life the heroes, villains, and summons that have defined FINAL FANTASY for decades.
Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY introduces a variety of unique mechanics and gameplay elements inspired by the RPG series.

These powerful entities can be called upon during battle, reflecting their role in the original series. Additionally, the set features double-faced cards that transform when certain conditions are met. These dynamic cards capture iconic elements of the franchise, from its famous minigames to pivotal story moments.
