Wizards of the Coast's Hearthstone-esque Magic: The Gathering Arena is a new way of digitizing the popular trading card game but if you're concerned that you won't be able to play the game because you only have a Mac computer, worry not. Unlike Magic: The Gathering Online, the upcoming game is getting Mac support, as confirmed by Wizards of the Coast President Chris Cocks.
“We will support other platforms like Mac,” Chis told hipstersofthecoast. “[T]hat likely won’t be until either the later stages of the Beta or around when we declare it as a launch game, but Mac will be a platform that supported as well as all the other platforms you would expect us to do. The timeline on those other platforms are as soon as we can prioritize it based on player feedback and what we think is the best thing to do to make a fun game.”
This is huge! It's clear that the game is intended to be a Hearthstone competitor rather than a replacement to MTGO, so adding Mac support would definitely edge out its rival by making the game more accessible to players who use Mac computers. Although I have both Mac and PC, I'd prefer to play Arena on the Mac.
Mtg Arena For Mac
Magic The Gathering Arena is a card-exchanging game that is amazing and a must-try among gamers. Gameplay is quite simple, exciting and really fun friends together. Magic The Gathering Arena present the gamers a visual visual attraction of the car’s amazing and highly anticipated by gamers. Last year, we were so obsessed with Apple deprecating OpenGL (spoiler: no real consequences have been seen one year later), we missed the real issue looming on the horizon: the removal of 32-bit support. With the latest version of macOS, Catalina, games not updated to 64-bit no longer work at all. And with Catalina’s surprise release, on October 7, this means you won’t be able to play. But, when I open the winewrapper after all of that, it is still prompting me to install/setup an executable. Thanks so much for the assistance on this. I just swapped to a Mac for work and I'm so freaking upset I can't play MTG Arena! Timeline of Events. Ever since MTG Arena’s inception we have been asking WotC if and when there will be a Mac OS release. Initially Wizards stated that a Mac release was to be expected, but in November of 2018 Saffron Olive tweeted that it was downgraded from a definite to ‘let us know if you want this’. That trend continued when MTG Arena was announced in 2017 as PC-only to start. But a few months later, in an interview with Hipsters of the Coast, Wizards CEO Chris Cocks said that they were intended to bring MTG Arena to Mac eventually. “We will support other platforms like Mac,” Cocks said.
Another interesting plan they have for Magic: The GatheringArena is adding it to Organized Play. Chris says, “there’s going to be a mix of paper coverage and there’s going to be digital coverage as well,” he said. “You will see high-level competitive events that will be focused on digital versions of the game,” likely similar to the current Magic Online Championship Series but with MTG Arena. Even further in the future, “maybe it’s a year or two down the road, [there might be] hybrid events where both are..showcased.”
The future of digital Magic is looking good, Just recently, a Korean company and Wizards of the Coast announced their 'Project M' mobile game.
