It is seen that the reception that the open beta of Magic: Legends has had has not had enough support or has not managed to be as good as Cryptic Studios expected, because those responsible for the game have decided that they will not finally release the final version and therefore therefore they have decided to close the servers of this action RPG .
Today anyone has the possibility of downloading this trial version in the Epic Games Store, but you can only continue playing until October 31 . It will not even have time for the game to be officially released on PS4, Xbox One and PC, as it was originally scheduled to happen.
The company has issued a statement in which it has expressed its failure to show its vision of the Magic universe. In addition, he has ensured that all users who spent money during this open beta will receive a refund in the coming days , indicating incidentally that the internal store will be closed immediately so that no one else will spend money on it.
It is with great regret that we announce that Magic: Legends will close on October 31, 2021. All players who have spent money during the open beta will receive a refund of all their purchases. The servers will remain open to play until the closing day. However, we will close the Zen store immediately. Later this week, all items will be available for purchase with Aether, our free in-game currency.
Our vision for Magic: Legends fell short, but we are proud of what we have accomplished. Thanks to Wizards of the Coast, we were able to bring the Magic: The Gathering universe to a wide audience and explore new angles within the established action RPG genre. We have learned some valuable lessons along the way and will use them to improve the next games Cryptic develops.
So by removing the internal store, all Magic: Legends Open Beta content will remain intact until the end of October. We do not know if one day the situation will change and the title will come back to life, but for now Cryptic Studios has indicated that it is not among their plans to revive the project in the future .
