Final Fantasy coming to the Magic The Gathering’s card universe in 2025

Wizards of the Coast is teaming up with video game royalty Final Fantasy for a special set of upcoming Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond cards, slated for release ion the middle of next year.

The 13th of June 2025 is when the collab is set to happen and will feature each main Final Fantasy game released to date. As well as the physical editions, the set will also be available to play digitally on Magic: The Gathering Arena

“At Square Enix, we are always seeking new ways to bring the rich lore and legacy of Final Fantasy to life,” said Shoichi Ichikawa, Producer of the Final Fantasy series at Square Enix. “This collaboration is important to us because it allows us to merge the immersive storytelling of Final Fantasy with the fun strategic gameplay of Magic: The Gathering—something that fans of both franchises will love.”

“This collaboration is more than just cards. It’s about celebrating decades of iconic characters, legendary stories, and unforgettable moments from one of the most beloved franchises in gaming history,” said Zakeel Gordon, Product Architect at Wizards of the Coast. “FINAL FANTASY fans will get to experience these characters in an entirely new way—through the strategic depth and storytelling of Magic: The Gathering.”

This set includes the largest collection of Final Fantasy artwork ever in a single game. The set will include artwork from Magic artists along with classic illustrations from legendary Final Fantasy artists as well as brand-new, breathtaking pieces made specifically for this set. From the iconic Chocobo to the behemoth, players will see their favorite characters—like Cloud, Terra, Lightning, and Noctis—alongside summons and monsters from across the Final Fantasy series.
