Wizards of the Coast and Square Enix revealed more details about the Final Fantasy set in Magic: The Gathering, along with additional information about the collection at MagicCon Las Vegas.
Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy
Themed sets in Magic: The Gathering continue to expand into different video game franchises. A few months ago, it was Assassin’s Creed’s turn, and recently, a new Marvel set was announced, set to hit stores in 2025.
At MagicCon Las Vegas, held from October 25-27, 2024, Wizards of the Coast presented a new themed set in the Magic: The Gathering Beyond the Multiverse collection, first teased in August 2023.
And, as you saw in the headline, itโs the role-playing franchise Final Fantasy. Weโll have to wait until 2025 to enjoy the set, but at least we now have the first details.
The Final Fantasy series by Square Enix will arrive on June 13, 2025, in Magic: The Gathering, bringing the rich stories, fascinating characters, and powerful summons of the JRPG series to the usual card game format.
The set will cover the entire Final Fantasy storyline, from the original 1987 game to Final Fantasy XVI, recently released for PC.
Additionally, the Final Fantasy set will also be available in digital format for the card game Magic: The Gathering Arena.

The new Final Fantasy themed set represents the largest collection of illustrations from the JRPG saga. Some have been created by regular Magic: The Gathering artists, while others feature contributions from veteran Square Enix artists.
The collection includes magical creatures from the Final Fantasy universe, like Behemoth and the adorable Chocobos, as well as iconic characters such as Cloud, Sephiroth, Terra, Lightning, Noctis, and Tidus.
โAt Square Enix, we are always looking for new ways to breathe life into the rich tradition and legacy of FINAL FANTASY.

Of course, the set also includes the seriesโ most charismatic enemies, as well as summons, key locations, and much more.

Fans of FINAL FANTASY will get to experience these characters in an entirely new way,โ assures Zakeel Gordon, Product Architect at Wizards of the Coast.

However, at MagicCon, more details were provided about the Foundations set, which revisits the past, present, and future of the Magic: The Gathering universe.
