2 of the biggest names in the world of collectible card games and video games will meet in June
Collectible card game Wizards of the Coast's Magic: The Gathering (MtG) has been collaborating with all sorts of brands for about a decade. Most offer small batches under the game's limited Secret Lair sub-brand, but there are also some full sets. Wizards of the Coast announced in 2022 that they would be working with Square Enix to bring the Final Fantasy franchise to MtG in 2024. Two months before the end of 2024, Wizards of the Coast finally gave a little tease ( and acknowledged its delay to 2025). ).
