Duels of the Planeswalkers coming to PC & PS3 in 2010

By ManaNation.com ⋅ November 9, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment ⋅

Today on their web­site Wiz­ards of the Coast announced that the wildly pop­u­lar Duels of the Planeswalker Xbox Arcade game will be expand­ing to the PC and the Playsta­tion 3 in 2010. This isn’t too big of a sur­prise as the game proved star­tlingly pop­u­lar on the Xbox, rack­ing up over 300,000 down­loads in the first few months.

After hav­ing just released an expan­sion for the Xbox ver­sion of the game, today’s announce­ment included news that they would be pro­duc­ing two more expan­sions to pro­vide play­ers with more cards and more decks to play with. These expan­sions will be released in Spring and Sum­mer of 2010. The tim­ing is that Duels of the Planeswalk­ers will reach the desk­top in Sum­mer of 2010, and it will reach the PS3 in Fall of 2010. With a Japan­ese PS3 ver­sion com­ing in 2011.

And finally, of inter­est, is that the desk­top release of the game will involve a bonus which Wiz­ards is unable to reveal to us at this time. We don’t feel com­fort­able even guess­ing at what it could be, so we’ll leave it alone.

How­ever if the expan­sions are going to be over­seen by Matt Place, who was respon­si­ble for the orig­i­nal game and the expan­sion, then I think it is safe that they will con­tinue to be excit­ing and well done expan­sions for the play­ers to enjoy.
