Magic The Gathering Release Schedule 2025

A race across worlds, wars with dragons, and deep-space voyages barely scratch the surface of what’s to come for Magic: The Gathering in 2025.

Wizards of the Coast’s world-renowned trading card game is scheduled for six new set releases this year, three in-world and three Universes Beyond crossovers. The in-world sets are Aetherdrift, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, and Edge of Eternities, while the Universes Beyond sets feature collaborations with Square Enix’s Final Fantasy and Marvel’s Spider-Man.

Check out the timeline below with each set’s official release date and some extra details.

Aetherdrift

February 14, 2025

After the enormous multiversal war in March of the Machine, gateways called omenpaths opened, allowing beings other than planeswalkers to travel between worlds. This new status quo allowed Wizards of the Coast to do something unprecedented: one set featuring three different worlds. It accomplished this feat through a death race across Avishkar, Amonkhet, and Muraganda, with the grand prize being the powerful Aetherspark. Familiar faces Chandra and Daretti return, attempting to claim the artifact, which also serves as the set’s headliner card.

Tarkir: Dragonstorm

April 11, 2025

The world of Tarkir returns after a 10-year respite, and the dragons are returning along with it. Sarkhan Vol, who also returns in this set, orchestrated their comeback. The planeswalker traveled through time and prevented the dragons’ destruction by reviving Ugin, which allowed them to reign supreme over Tarkir. Lastly, the wedge gameplay that spawned in the original Tarkir set is the focus of the new one.

Final Fantasy

June 13, 2025

Magic: The Gathering adds another unbelievable crossover to its repertoire, Final Fantasy. The set features cards based on characters, events, and game mechanics from every one of the franchise’s 16 main installments. Cards adorned with Cloud, Noctis, Terra, and even chocobos are playable in the new release. Artwork was handled by artists at Square Enix and Wizards of the Coast, recreating the classics and developing original pieces just for the crossover. The Final Fantasy release begins the new policy of Universes Beyond sets moving forward being legal in all constructed formats.

Edge of Eternities

August 1, 2025

On the outskirts of the multiverse lies the Edge, a starfield bordering the Blind Eternities, where alien races use never-before-seen technology and types of magic to struggle for control of the Sothera system. Despite the set’s focus on unfamiliarity, the planeswalker Tezzeret is a recognizable presence in the Edge, vying for power in the galaxy. Wizards of the Coast calls Edge of Eternities a science fantasy in the vein of Bethesda Softworks’ Starfield.

Spider-Man

Late 2025

Wizards of the Coast teamed up with Marvel last year to release a Secret Lair superdrop featuring card designs inspired by five superheroes from the comic publisher’s catalog. This year, that partnership continues with an entire booster set inspired by Spider-Man. The only confirmation of its release date so fa🌠r is the second half of 2🐷025, but it could drop in October if it follows the pattern of the previous four sets.

Unannounced Universes Beyond Set

TBA

Confirmed for the fourth quarter of 2025, Magic: The Gathering‘s final release of the year largely remains a secret. The release is a tentpole set, and it features randomized booster packs for the Limited format and decks for Commander play. Rumors that the set is based on Avatar: The Last Airbender began swirling last month when cosmetic bundles on Magic: Arena‘s online shop featured references to components heavily utilized in the lore of the 2005 Nickelodeon cartoon. Ironically, Spongebob Squarepants, another Nickelod🌟eon cartoon, is confirmed as a Secre🍌t Lair release in 2025.
