By Justin Carter Published July 18, 2026, 4:15 pm ET Reading time 2 minutes © Wizards of the Coast Read Later Read Later Comments (12) Later this year, Magic: The Gathering takes its first step into new horizons with the mutliverse-heavy Reality Fracture set . Naturally, that’s just beginning of a longer jaunt through other worlds—or planes, in this case—that Wizards of the Coast plans to take players through in 2027, and possibly longer. On Friday, Wizards unveiled its roadmap for next year, which will comprise of the Magic Multiverse and in-person events across the globe. This all starts with Nauctis: The Sunken Realm due February 5, which will focus on the game’s first-ever set devoted to the water plane. “Rich with brine and opportunities for adventure,” Nauctis will focus on a group devoted to preventing war between two squabbling kingdoms, and creatures that dwell “far, far from the surface.” Then, June 4 brings Kamigawa: Titanbreach. Set in the neon, modern-day city of Towashi, things kick off with a chunk of the monster plane Ikoria raining down on the city. According to Wizards, this will be Magic: The Gathering “on a scale you’ve never seen before,” as the Kamigawans will be fighting Ikoria’s monsters with their own manmade mechs—so if you’ve ever wanted a card game for Pacific Rim, Godzilla, or Power Rangers, it sounds like this’ll be the set for you. Lastly, 2027’s final multiverse set will be Zhalfir . Where Kamigawa leaned toward Japanese culture and mythology, this one is based on Afrofuturism; now existing as its own plane (and having replaced the metal plane Mirrofin), Zhalfir is powered by five suns and never sees nightfall. With the return of chronomancer Teferi Akosa, newer players will unlock “innovative new forms of magic…and some especially mindbending cards.” With this set, the team hopes to “honor [Zhalfir’s] legacy in every aspect,” something players can experience for themselves when it releases on October 1. More details about the three sets will come closer to their individual releases. And between each one, Wizards will keep Magic: The Gathering with new, currently unannounced Universes Beyond sets—respectively launching April 9, August 6, and November 19—and four Magic Con events set in Detroit (February 26-28), Tokyo (May 14-16), Las Vegas (August 27-29), and Amsterdam (December 3-5). Before then, there’s the aforementioned Reality Fracture on October 2 and a The Hobbit set landing August 14. Want more io9 news?
