Magic: Legends<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, the free-to-play\u00a0ARPG set in the Magic: The Gathering universe, is shutting down for good on October 31, 2021. If this seems really fast to you, you\u2019re right – the game technically never even left the beta phase for an official launch, nor did it ever get its scheduled console launches on Xbox or Playstation. On the plus side, if you did play it at all on the Epic Games Store or Arc launcher, you\u2019re getting a full refund for any purchases made.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Magic: Legends is shutting down on October 31, 2021.

I was fascinated by many components of the game, including its use of an AI director to craft intensifying action, during our cover story trip. <\/span><\/span>You can check out\u00a0our cover story and features here.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n However, at the end of the day, we can speculate that lack of player retention, monetization models, lack of endgame content, gear system choices, and low activity diversity all contributed in some way, but we\u2019ll never really know. Since the game never actually made it to a launch, there\u2019s room for additional speculation too, but I\u2019d rather keep things in the realm of reality and say it was a really cool idea with a passionate team behind it that didn\u2019t \u201cignite the spark\u201d due to a variety of factors once it was unleashed into reality. I do wish we would have seen a launch and what could have been with some course correction, but turning a ship around once it\u2019s left port is an incredibly challenging (and often impossible) task in games.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Feel free to take a look at several hours of gameplay when the beta was in its infancy right here on our <\/span><\/span>YouTube channel.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0You can also read the entire statement and shutdown FAQ<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> over on the official site.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Did you play any Magic: Legends?
