The trading card classic Magic the Gathering is being expanded to include numerous new sets this year. The release dates that Wizards of the Coast has planned for the MtG innovations have now been set. The first set of the year, Ravnica Remastered, has already been launched.
Richard Garfield's hit game Magic the Gathering has been around for more than 30 years. Even today, the trading card game still has countless fans worldwide. One reason for the continued fun can be found in the constant new expansions that Wizards of the Coast brings onto the market. The release plan for the current year 2024 should encourage some fans of the trading card game to spend a euro or two. And for those who want to look beyond the franchise, Wizards of the Coast also has a few surprises in store this year.
Magic the Gathering: All dates 2024
- 12th January: Ravnica Remastered
- 9. February: Murder at Karlov Manor
- 23. February: Ravnica - Cluedo Edition
- 8. March: Fallout
- 2nd quarter 2024: Outlaws of Thunder Junction
- 2nd quarter 2024: Modern Horizons 3
- July 2024: Assassins Creed
- 3nd quarter 2024: bloomburrow
- 4nd quarter 2024: Duskmourn: House of Horror
Wizards of the Coast is mixing standard Magic the Gathering releases with special releases again this year. The makers of the trading card game have already started the new year with the non-standard set Ravnica Remastered, and in February the first standard wave of new releases will continue with Murder in Karlov Manor.
And not only that: the new Play Booster will also be introduced as a novelty in Magic the Gathering. Fans of the trading card game therefore have one exciting year ahead, also with a view to the competition, which also wants to gain momentum at the end of February: Ravensburger then goes along Disney Lorcan into the next round, Asmodee and Fantasy Flight Games, on the other hand, are starting their new one Trading card game Star Wars Unlimited in the first place.
Exciting accents
The focus for long-time fans is likely to be on the release of Mord in Karlov Manor because no Conspiracy set has been released for a long time. Some exciting crime thriller aspects are expected that do justice to the topic and at the same time could set new accents in the trading card genre.
Things will be no less exciting with the release of the next standard expansion Outlaws of Thunder Junction, because then the Wild West finds its way into the world of Magic the Gathering. The thematic processing is likely to be particularly interesting. With Magic the Gathering, Wizards of the Coast have already proven that they can make the leap into new worlds with gangster and cyberpunk themes. The question of how weapons are processed will be interesting: they are part of the Wild West setting, although it is unclear how the makers will take this into account. A gaming milestone could possibly be waiting for long-time fans here.
The second half of the year couldn't be more contrasting at Magic the Gathering: here's cuddly content bloomburrow In the third quarter of the year, a good portion of horror will follow in the fourth quarter of 2024, when Duskmorn celebrates the release. The latter is also the last standard set of the current year and the focus should almost automatically fall on how Wizards of the Coast will ensure sufficient unique selling points for the “House of Horror” after Innistrad.
Plans announced for Magic the Gathering until 2026
The end of the year does not mean the end of Magic the Gathering for Wizards of the Coast - after all, the creators already revealed their plans for 2026 last summer. Albeit with some rather vague information.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the franchise, fans were treated to a treat: Innistrad Remastered will be launched next year as a new addition to Magic the Gathering - an offshoot from the Remastered series will be released again Especially fans of horror and gothic should be happy.
Afterwards things get wild with the trading card game Hasbro-Wizards of the Coast subsidiary.
Code name: Tennis
A set that crosses death race content from the racing genre with magic is scheduled to come out in the first quarter of 2025 under the code name Tennis.
Codename: Ultimate
A set with the previous placeholder name Ultimate will also be released next year for Magic the Gathering. It's about powerful dragons and the world of Tarkir.
Codename: Volleyball
The MtG novelty under the code name Volleyball is aimed at sci-fi fans in 2025. This set focuses on space content and could possibly even contain one or two sidekicks to well-known space operas.
Codename: Wrestling
The expansion under the code name Wrestling is also planned for the coming year 2025. It will be about the world of Lorwyn with goblins, fairies and elves. This set concludes 2025 in Magic the Gathering.
Codename: Yachting
The Magic set with the previous code name Yachting is the first set of 2026. It goes back to Strixhaven and is therefore about magic in its purest form.
Codename: Ziplining
The Magic set with the code name Ziplining closes the year 2026. Not much is known yet, but with this set Wizards of the Coast wants to bring a story arc to an end that began with the Wilds of Eldraine set.
From the previously known bits of information about the new Magic the Gathering set, Wizards of the Coast's willingness to experiment can be seen, but also their desire to bring stories that have begun to an epic end. After Magic the Gathering has often been declared dead in recent years, the creators' long-term plans should at least provide some reassurance for undecided fans.
