Hello everyone!
And…here we are.
January 19th, 2012 marks the one year anniversary of our release of Magic: The Gathering – Tactics.* It’s been an incredibly fun and challenging title for the team and while things didn’t always go exactly as we planned, we think we’re hitting our birthday on a high note!
Why is that?* Glad you asked!
Something big happened this week that you might not have been aware of, so I’m telling you now.* SOE announced a deal with a German media company called ProSieben to distribute our games, including Magic: The Gathering – Tactics, in all of Europe.* ProSieben is an incredible company and has the ability to put Tactics out in front of millions of new gamers.* As you know, Magic: The Gathering is a huge brand in Europe, so this is a very exciting prospect for us.* We don’t have the exact timeline yet but the international release of Tactics through ProSieben will be coming very quickly.
That’s cool!* Is that all the good news?
Of course not.* It gets better.
On Tuesday of next week, Magic: The Gathering – Tactics will join other great free to play games on Steam, one of the largest online gaming portals anywhere.* Much like the ProSieben deal, this will introduce Tactics to a huge group of new gamers.* When you see these players hit the lobbies, please welcome them in and try not to play your Black Lotus on turn #1, ok?
Wait, you mentioned a birthday.* Are there presents?
Of course there are!* You can send them directly to me.
Actually, we have a gift for you.* Starting Thursday, January 19th at 12am, the first time you log into Magic: The Gathering – Tactics on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, you’ll receive one free, non-tradable,* preview copy of the artifact creature Juggernaut!* Log in for the four consecutive days and you’ll get your full four copy playset!** This promotion ends on Sunday night, January 22nd at 11:59pm PT.* If you don’t snag your Juggernauts by then, you’ll have to wait until Summer’s release of Magic: The Gathering – Tactics Set #3.
Currently, the team is working hard on the second expansion set for Magic: The Gathering – Tactics and some new features and functionality that we’ll be adding in over the next couple of months.* We’d like to thank all of you for your support over the last year and hope you stick with us for what’s to come!
Best,
Mark Tuttle
