26th June 2003:
Magic: The Gathering- Battlegrounds
Based on Wizard's of the Coast trading card game and with Xbox Live!
Posted by John Wasabi - Xbox,PC - UK and Europe

Under license from Hasbro Consumer Products, Atari has announced plans to take one of the most popular trading card games ever created to the Xbox videogame system from Microsoft with the release of Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds. A PC CD-ROM version of the game was also announced. Currently in development by Secret Level, Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds is filled with faithful translations of classic creatures, spells and enchantments from the premier trading card game in a visually stunning 3D game environment rife with real-time strategic fighting, devastating wizard arsenals and intense creature combat.

"Magic represents one of the best game franchises ever created, constantly evolving and always offering something new to challenge and entertain players. When we approached this project we asked ourselves how we could expand the Magic experience interactively to match - the answer: by making it real-time and providing significant Xbox Live! support," said Jean-Philippe Agati, senior vice president and head of Infogrames, Inc.'s Los Angeles studio. "Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds is like no other Magic game to date - it is incredibly fast-paced, eye-popping in full 3D and filled with more strategic fighting action than you can shake a stick at. What's more, we've gone to great lengths to deliver Xbox Live! features allowing players to compete against friends worldwide, track their stats and rank as well as download new creatures, spells, arenas and more."

We couldn't agree more with Atari's commitment and hope to bring you more as soon as we can. In the meantime, check out these new screenshots of this very promising Xbox Live! game
