Sony Online Denver is working with Wizards of the Coast to create Magic: The Gathering – Tactics. The title is set to be an online, 3D turn-based strategy game based on 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 put everything into 3D and players can play single player or PVP action against others worldwide. SOE also expects to feed the game with regular content expansions, a tournament environment, rankings and achievements and the stories from Planeswalkers.

Magic: The Gathering – Tactics is set for a early 2010 release on PC but will be coming to the Playstation 3 after that.

“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.
