Might & Magic Fates Enters Open Beta

Ubisoft is officially opening the gates to Might & Magic Fates, and for fans of strategy card games, this is a moment worth paying attention to. The new mobile title has entered open beta on Android, giving players their first real chance to explore Ubisoft’s vision for a modern, competitive card game powered by blockchain tech—without putting that front and center just yet.

Let’s break down what the beta includes, who can join, and why this launch matters not just for Might & Magic fans, but for the wider world of blockchain games.

Open Beta Now Live on Android

The Might & Magic Fates open beta is currently rolling out region by region. As of now, Android players in Poland and Ukraine can download the game directly from the Google Play Store. Ubisoft has also expanded access to Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Thailand.

On top of that, Founders and Key Keepers—players who supported the game early—can access the beta globally, provided they’ve accepted their invite. Ubisoft has confirmed that if something goes wrong with access, players can resolve it through official Discord support.

Most importantly, all progress carries over. Every card you unlock, every hero you level, and every match you play during the beta will remain intact when the game launches worldwide.

Who Can Join and What Carries Over

At the moment, the beta is Android-only, with no iOS version announced yet. Anyone in a supported region can jump in freely, while Founders and Key Keepers bypass regional limits entirely.

Ubisoft has been very clear on one thing:Nothing you do in the beta is wasted.

• Card collections carry over

• Player data persists

• Hero progression remains intact

Tradable cards already owned will function normally during the beta. However, exclusive items from bundles—such as cosmetics and special rewards—will only appear once the full global release goes live.

A Strategy Card Game Built on a Legendary IP

Might & Magic Fates is set within one of gaming’s most recognizable fantasy universes. The Might & Magic franchise spans nearly four decades, and Fates pulls heroes, creatures, and factions from across its long history.

Gameplay-wise, this is a competitive strategy trading card game. Players build decks around a chosen hero, summon creatures, cast spells, deploy artifacts, and even place buildings that alter the battlefield itself.

This isn’t about RNG-heavy chaos. Ubisoft is positioning Fates as a skill-first experience, where positioning, timing, and deck synergy matter far more than luck.

Factions and Deep Deckbuilding Choices

At launch, players can build around four distinct factions:

• Haven – defensive, disciplined, and structured

• Necropolis – undead armies and attrition-based tactics

• Inferno – aggressive, high-risk, high-reward play

• Academy – magic-driven control and adaptability

Decks go beyond simple creatures and spells. You’ll also work with artifacts, hero upgrades, and building cards, allowing you to reshape the board and dictate how battles unfold. This layered design gives Fates a depth that will appeal to long-term competitive players.

The Sea of Fates and Hero Progression

The game takes place in a brand-new setting called the Sea of Fates—a shattered multiverse where timelines collide. This clever narrative setup allows different versions of iconic characters to coexist, opening the door for endless design possibilities.

Heroes function almost like RPG characters. They gain experience, unlock abilities, and fundamentally change how your deck performs. Choosing a hero isn’t just cosmetic—it’s a core strategic decision that defines your playstyle.

PvP Competition and Solo Play Options

Might & Magic Fates supports both ranked PvP and solo seasonal content. Competitive players can climb the ladder, while more casual or lore-focused players can explore faction challenges and limited-time events.

Both modes are fully playable in the beta. Ubisoft is actively using this phase to fine-tune balance, pacing, and matchmaking—meaning player feedback right now genuinely shapes the final version.

Blockchain Tech Working Behind the Scenes

First revealed in April 2025, Might & Magic Fates is being developed in partnership with Immutable and runs on Immutable zkEVM, a Layer 2 Ethereum solution designed for games.

While blockchain elements aren’t front and center in the beta, the foundation is already there. Certain cards are onchain and tradable, with deeper marketplace functionality expected to matter more after launch.

Crucially, Ubisoft has emphasized no pay-to-win mechanics. Progression is tied to gameplay skill, not spending power—a refreshing stance in both traditional and blockchain-powered titles.

Founder Bundles and Early NFT Rewards

Early supporters were offered two premium bundles:

• Founder Bundle ($49.99) – 60 card packs, a limited Shi-No-Shi Legendary, and exclusive cosmetics

• Key Founder Bundle ($79.99) – 90 packs, multiple limited Legendaries, VIP perks, permanent discounts, and tradable faction keys

Players who purchased early were already rewarded with a Greater Air Elemental NFT card, limited to just 1,200 units. It’s a clear signal that Ubisoft plans to meaningfully reward early believers.

What Comes Next for Might & Magic Fates

There’s no final release date yet, but more regions are expected to join the beta soon. With progress carrying over and systems already live, this feels less like a test and more like a soft launch.

For fans of competitive card games and anyone tracking the evolution of high-quality blockchain games, Might & Magic Fates is shaping up to be one of Ubisoft’s most interesting experiments to date.
