[SONY] Magic The Gathering - Tactics

(Fuente: Wizards.com, Sony)

Bueno, hoy por la mañana nos hemos levantado con la noticia de que un gran anuncio iba a anunciarse en todo el mundo a la vez en todas las páginas de Wizards.. Para no abrir 2 noticias sobre lo mismo, he preferido optar por esperar. A lo largo de la mañana, un usuario en Salvation, ha encontrado trozos de código que indicaban y venían a señalar que la noticia trataría de un nuevo videojuego que estarían desarrollando Sony y Wizards, sobre Magic en 3D: Magic The Gathering - Tactics. (El cual ya anunciamos hace un tiempo, al menos la trademark)


Hemos esperado hasta la mitad de la tarde a que pusieran más información y bueno, la verdad que esperaba mucha mas información como imágnees varias o algun tipo de sneak peak mas amplio, pero lo que nos han dejado tampoco esta mal:

A continuación el texto original de la noticia (desvelado en Sony y en Wizards):

SONY ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT AND WIZARDS OF THE COAST COLLABORATE TO DEVELOP
MAGIC: THE GATHERING -TACTICS™

Online, 3D Turn-Based Strategy Game Scheduled for Launch in Early 2010

 

DENVER, Colo. – November 2, 2009 – Today, Sony Online Entertainment LLC, and Wizards of the Coast LLC announced they are developing Magic: The Gathering – Tactics, an online, 3D turn-based strategy game played within the rich Magic: The Gathering Multiverse.

"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."

"The growing Magic: The Gathering community has an insatiable desire for great strategic game experiences. Sony Online Entertainment is the perfect partner to transform the best of Magic's story, strategy and competitive play into a fantastic 'Tactics' game experience for current and new Magic fans," said Greg Leeds, president, Wizards of the Coast.

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.

Magic: The Gathering - Tactics is being developed by SOE's Denver studio and scheduled to be available for the PC in early 2010, with a version for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system to follow.

Lo que viene a decir algo asi como que en pos de investigar nuevas formas de explotar el mundo de Magic, Sony y Wizards estan desarrollando un videojuego en un entorno tridimensional relacionado con MTG donde los jugadores liderarán Fuerzas de Bichos en 3D y Poderosos Hechizos sacados de las Magic y en el que habrá cabida a Torneos y Duelos PvP entre los usuarios del mismo, y que en cierta manera, seguirá la Historia de los Planeswalkers de Magic, tendrá Rankings y se preveen Futuras Expansiones que amplíen el contenido del mismo. Parece que estará disponible para PC y para PS3 y que saldrá a principios del 2010.


Vamos que hacen un pseudo "WoW de Magic" o un "Heroes of Might and Magic the Gathering 3D" o sino va a ser un juego bastante flojeras teniendo en cuenta lo que se espera para el 2010 en cuanto a mundo videojueguil se refiere.

Bueno, no adelantemos nada, esperemos a ver siguientes videos e imágenes con mas contenido, pues la verdad, para el bombo y platillo que le han dado, se me antoja low de material para comentar, y por ello no he querido aumentar el hype.


Saludetes !
