Magic: Legends, a free RPG that featured gameplay similar to the Diablo series, will close less than a year after its official launch. Developed by Cryptic and Perfect World, the game will have its servers closed on October 31st.
According to a blog post on the Cryptic website, Magic: Legends didn’t turn out exactly as the studio had imagined.
“Our vision for Magic: Legends missed the mark, but we’re proud of what we’ve achieved,” executive producer Steve Ricossa said. “Thanks to Wizards of the Coast, we were able to bring the vast Magic: The Gathering Multiverse to a large audience and explore new angles within the classic ARPG genre. We have learned several valuable lessons along the way and will use them to enhance Cryptic’s future development efforts. “
Users can try Magic: Legends from March thanks to an open beta running on mobile devices. However, the shutdown means it will no longer leave the beta, while the console ports have also been cleared.
As part of the process, the Zen Shop will go offline today. All real money spent by players for in-game purchases will be refunded. In the future, items can be purchased using the free in-game currency known as Aether, which is obtained by playing.
