Magic: Legends Enters Open Beta on PC

Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios’ free to play online action-RPG Magic: Legends is now available on the Epic Games Store and Perfect World’s Arc Games client. Positioned as an open beta, this release invites us all to become spell-wielding Planeswalkers and explore six diverse regions of the Magic: The Gathering multiverse, collect a whole bunch of spells and gear, and use them to battle a mysterious foe.

The full release is expected later this year, but for the time being, here are the open beta update notes and the official cinematic trailer:

And here’s a bit of gameplay:

Check out the game’s official description:

Choose your path through diverse planes, collect unique spells, Artifacts, and Equipment to create powerful loadouts, and control the chaos of battle as you fight to save the Multiverse from its greatest threat yet.

BECOME A PLANESWALKER

Rise to the challenge and save the Multiverse from its greatest threat yet. Harness the power of five different classes – but don’t worry about picking just one. You can switch between all five as you play.

WALK YOUR OWN PATH

You’ll need to cross diverse planes and regions to save the Magic Multiverse, but how you weave your path is up to you.

CONTROL THE CHAOS

Make fast, tactical decisions on the battlefield in real-time combat. Strategically build a deck of spells from your spell library, which will be drawn at random as you fight. Whether you wield the power of White, Blue, Black, Red, or Green mana – your choices determine how you navigate the battlefield.

COLLECT AND UPGRADE

Discover and cast a myriad of spells and collect spell pages to make them more powerful. Acquire and utilize Equipment and Artifacts to synergize with your deck in order to craft your desired playstyle.

FIGHT ALONE OR TOGETHER

Traverse the planes alone or with up to two other Planeswalkers. Prepare unique loadouts to build on your teammates’ strengths.
