Magic: Legends today released a new trailer for the upcoming free-to-play action RPG ahead of the title’s open beta launch next week on March 23rd. Specifically, the trailer details what folks can expect from the open beta based on the popular Wizards of the Coast card game, Magic: The Gathering, when it launches and going forward.

The open beta will allow access to over 170 spells and the full list of starting classes: Geomancer, Beastcaller, Mind Mage, Necromancer, and Sanctifier. There’s plenty more information in the new trailer, but the most important is likely that starting with open beta, there will be no further progress wipes. Whatever progression players make in the title leading up to release will remain.
