“We’re still intrigued by digital collectibility,” Cocks said. Previously, during an investor call in July last year, Cocks had said Magic: The Gathering Arena was expected to launch on consoles in 2023.Ĭocks also made mention of “digital collectibles,” but somehow avoided saying the letters N, F, or T out loud. “Over the mid-term, we continue to evaluate console - especially the Xbox and PlayStation platforms - and think that will be an interesting opportunity for us, but likely in 2024 and beyond.”

“The biggest thing for Arena is going to be the release on Steam,” Cocks said, adding that the Wizards digital team is working hard to improve the new-player experience before launching that product. Hasbro chief executive Chris Cocks said Thursday that it won’t be ready until “2024 or beyond.” Meanwhile, the Steam release is still on target for fall of 2023.Ĭocks made the announcement during a previously scheduled fourth-quarter call with investors, in response to a question asking for more specifics on the Magic: The Gathering’s digital revenue projections for the coming year. Magic: The Gathering Arena, the latest digital iteration of the collectible card game, won’t be headed to consoles this year as expected.
