Looking for the MTG Edge of Eternities release date? The fourth major Magic: The Gathering release of 2025 takes the game to a whole new type of setting: space! That’s right, it’s the space opera set, featuring high-tech ships, fascinating planets, and graceful space beasts.
Though this set won’t be coming out for another half a year, and we’re a long way off from spoiler season yet, we do have a release date and a few details about Edge of Eternities well worth sharing. And to see where this set fits in the overall calendar, you should check out the MTG release schedule.
MTG Edge of Eternities release date
MTG Edge of Eternities releases on August 1, 2025. That’s the global release date, when it’ll be on the shelves available to buy at all retailers, but the truly keen will be able to get their hands on the cards a little earlier.
That’s because Local Game Stores run prerelease events the week before a new MTG set releases. So the first day that Edge of Eternities cards will actually be purchasable is July 25. We should see spoilers flying thick and fast about a month before the set drops, so keep your eyes on the skies come early July.
MTG Edge of Eternities news and speculation
While Magic: The Gathering has dipped its toe into space (not to be advised) before with the joke unset Unfinity, it’s a pretty unusual genre for a serious mainline Magic set to tackle – a big departure from the game’s classic fantasy roots.
That’s why Wizards of the Coast is taking pains to stress the points of continuity, that this set is science fantasy not hard sci-fi, and that its worldbuilding team has pulled out all the stops to make Edge of Eternities fit within the wider Magic universe (it should be an easier sell than the upcoming Spiderman release at any rate).
The set’s name provides a big clue about how this setting will fit into the multiverse, and indeed at MagicCon: Las Vegas it was confirmed that it’s got something to do with the Blind Eternities, the space between planes where the Eldrazi come from.
While it has spaceships with guns that can blow up a planet, Edge of Eternities also has magic and laser swords, so expect it to be more Star Wars or Dune than The Expanse.
We also know that Edge of Eternities will see the return of a major villain, Tezzeret. Artwork shows him floating in the void, presumably indicating that space in the Blind Eternities is far less inhospitable than in reality.
We’ve still a long way to go before Edge of Eternities arrives. Check out the other sets coming first, like the Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy crossover, and MTG Aetherdrift.
