7 Magic: The Gathering Crossovers We Want for Universes Beyond in 2027 and Beyond
Following Hasbro's tease of more "fantasy-adjacent" Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond sets for 2027, here are our predictions for what could join the lineup next year.
1. Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks expects Universes Beyond partners to be more fantasy-adjacent in 2027, as recent sets have included Middle-earth, New York City, and Final Fantasy. Fans have requested a shift away from New York City settings.
2. Three new Universes Beyond sets are planned for April, August, and November 2027, providing ample opportunities for crossover crossovers.
3. The Legend of Zelda's grand, fantasy adventure identity aligns well with Magic: The Gathering's core theme. The upcoming live-action film could further boost interest.
4. The Witcher series, particularly the upcoming fourth entry, offers a vast array of characters and creatures that could be translated into impactful Magic cards and storylines.
5. Marvel's Midnight Suns, a tactical card game featuring characters like Blade and Doctor Strange, could serve as a refreshing alternative to the web-slinging and shield-wielding heroes currently dominating the brand.
6. Warhammer: Age of Sigmar presents a high-fantasy setting ripe for exploration within Magic: The Gathering. Existing Magic archetypes, such as dwarves, elves, and orks, could be incorporated into this brand.
7. Game of Thrones remains an enduring IP with numerous spinoffs, games, and a standalone card game. A Magic set based on the series, drawing from prequels or additional content like Lady Stoneheart, could be a lucrative crossover.
