Wizards of the Coast recently worked with game developer Stainless Games on an Xbox LIVE Arcade version of Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers. Wizards of the Coast also worked with Sony Computer Entertainment on The Eye of Judgment, the augmented reality card strategy game that worked with the PlayStation Eye. Sony Online Entertainment promises some unique gameplay for their collaboration with Wizards of the Coast for this version of Magic: The Gathering.

“By collaborating with Wizards of the Coast, we’re able to combine the strengths of both companies to develop an innovative, online, 3D game based on an extremely popular IP,” said John Smedley, president, Sony Online Entertainment. “We’re going to be taking the Magic: The Gathering Multiverse places players have never seen.”

"Magic: The Gathering - Tactics will allow players to command forces of dramatic 3D figures and powerful spell cards pulled from the Magic: The Gathering Multiverse. Players can participate in single player scenarios or jump right into PVP action against other players worldwide, 24 hours per day. Magic: The Gathering – Tactics is expected to feature regular content expansions, a robust tournament environment, an achievement and rankings program, and original stories of the Planeswalkers of Magic: The Gathering."
