New Magic: Legends Dev Blog Talks About Their Own Version Of Player Housing Called ‘Realms’

Magic: Legends published a new dev blog today that talks about the game’s Realms feature, Cryptic Studio’s take on player housing. But unlike most MMORPGs, these Realms will be more than just a place to chill or show off your house décor but will also provide various in-game combat benefits.

“In the existing Magic lore, a handful of powerful planeswalkers such as Karn and Serra set up home bases of their own within the Multiverse. We tied our ideas together and created the Realms system, which both highlights the growth of the player’s character and reinforces the overarching power fantasy of being a planeswalker. The player has control over an entire realm of their own that they can build upon and upgrade as their power grows. This is a rare feat even amongst planeswalkers, placing the player in exclusive company.”

Realms are tied to a player’s progress and will reflect their overall progress in the game. By leveling up their Realm’s Aetheric Core, players will be able to setup and upgrade various workstations that will allow them to unlock new classes, spells, mission reward multipliers, Artifacts, and more. Realms will also give players the ability to convert in-game resources, like gold, into other forms.

The details of the new feature are likely to change as the developers continue to brainstorming for ways to expand its functionality during the game’s pre-Alpha development phase. Cryptic promises to shed more light on workstations and projects next week.
