Announces Upcoming Magic: The Gathering™ Miniatures Line and
Board Game
HILLSIDE, New Jersey,
Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
WizKids, the leader in high-quality pre-painted miniatures and
established board games, today revealed plans for an upcoming
miniatures line and board game featuring the world-renowned trading
card game, Magic: The Gathering. The new IP extends WizKids'
existing licensing partnership with leading game creators Wizards
of the Coast, which already includes the famed Dungeons &
Dragons.
The announcement combines the expertise of WizKids' sculpted
miniatures with the original Trading Card Game brand recognized the
world over, immersing fans in the world of Magic!
The initial pre-painted sculpted miniatures will focus on token
creature card favorites, adding a premium touch to the player's
table top experience while the board game will pull from the
original trading card lore. Players will play as Planeswalkers,
exploring the landscape of Dominaria as they establish connections
to their mana sources, gathering power before their opponents do
and building their hand of spell cards.
"We're introducing a long-time, beloved brand to an all new
medium," said Justin Ziran,
president of WizKids. "Producing high-quality miniatures and
bringing to market captivating board games is at the heart of
WizKids. We could not be more excited to extend our relationship
with Wizards of the Coast with Magic: The Gathering."
The new miniatures line and board game are set to release in
Fall 2018.
