Might & Magic returns with the new Fates TCG coming to mobile

• Might & Magic makes a return, this time on mobile
• Might & Magic Fates TCG translates the hit roleplaying series into a card battler
• Duke it out in PvP and use iconic heroes from the series to lead your forces

The Might & Magic franchise is one remembered fondly by many gamers. Be that the original role-playing series, the RTS spin-off Heroes of Might and Magic or the excellent Source-powered Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Now, the series returns, and to mobile no less, with the upcoming Might & Magic Fates TCG.

Announced earlier this year, Might & Magic Fates TCG sees Ubisoft resurrect a franchise that many might lay blame at their door for slaying in the first place. But as far as tasters of the fantasy world of Might & Magic go, this digital TCG doesn't look too bad at all.

Combining the hero-focused gameplay of the RTS series and a classic trading card experience, Might & Magic Fates TCG sees you building a deck of units drawn from across the M&M franchise. Using your hero's individual abilities, you'll boost their prowess on the battlefield and form strategies to take out enemy forces.

Mostly magical, maybe mighty

Boasting a free-to-play model and plenty in the way of PvP, Might & Magic Fates TCG looks to be a highly competent release that's planned for a December 10th launch, according to its App Store listing.

I've no doubt that for many longtime Might & Magic fans, this isn't exactly what they were expecting. A TCG can be fun, of course, but without a clear hook to pull you in, it's relying on the goodwill of longtime fans who may want to jump back into the world of Might & Magic. A world that's lain dormant perhaps for too long.

In any case, Might & Magic Fates TCG will have plenty of competition when it arrives on mobile. And it may prove to be a chief competitor in the space.
