Lorwyn Eclipsed Sets Sales Record Amidst Crossover Boom
11 Feb
Summary
- Magic generated $1.7 billion in profit, a 60% increase from the previous year.
- Two best-selling sets were licensed crossovers: Final Fantasy and Avatar.
- Lorwyn Eclipsed, an original Magic set, became the fastest-selling ever.
Magic: The Gathering achieved a remarkable $1.7 billion in profit over the past year, marking a significant 60% growth. This financial success was largely bolstered by two of the best-selling sets ever: "Final Fantasy" and "Avatar: The Last Airbender," both part of the lucrative "Universes Beyond" crossover line. These licensed sets have significantly contributed to the game's profitability for Hasbro.
Despite the strong performance of crossover sets, an "in-universe" Magic set, "Lorwyn Eclipsed," has achieved the title of fastest-selling set of all time. This recent release, which returned to beloved settings from 2008, demonstrates continued enthusiasm for Magic's original storytelling. Its success suggests that while crossovers attract new players, the game's core lore remains a powerful draw for its community.
