Ubisoft's new card game Might & Magic Fates has officially entered open beta on Android. The beta is rolling out region by region, starting with Poland and Ukraine. It's also coming to Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Thailand.

The beta is live as of writing, and it's the first time everyone can get a hands-on look at the game. If you're a Key Keeper or Founder (Ubisoft's early access backers), you can also join, no matter where you live, as long as you've accepted your invitation.

The Might & Magic Fates TCG Beta: Who Can Join and How

For now, the open beta is only available on Android. You can find the game directly on the Google Play Store under its official listing. Anyone in a supported region can download and play it, but if you're a Founder or Key Keeper and can't access it, Ubisoft has advised opening a support ticket through Discord.

The game is still on its way to a full global release, but this phase gives you early access to the experience. Ubisoft has confirmed that all your progress in this beta, including your data and your cards, will carry over into the full launch later. 

Cards marked as tradable will also work in the beta. But any exclusive bundle content from earlier offers like the Founder Bundle and Key Founder Bundle won't show up in your inventory until the game officially launches worldwide.

A Strategy Game with Familiar Heroes

Might & Magic Fates is a trading card game set in the world of Might & Magic, a franchise that goes back nearly 40 years. The game pulls in characters, creatures, and factions from across the series and places them in a new multiverse setting called the Sea of Fates.

At its core, Fates is a competitive strategy game. You build a deck, choose a hero, summon creatures, cast spells, and use artifacts and buildings to outwit your opponent. The battles rely on tactical thinking, not luck, and your hero evolves over time, unlocking new skills as you play more matches.

The game encourages you to find synergies between cards, play around positioning, and craft your own tactics. That mix of deep lore and fresh gameplay is what Ubisoft says will set the game apart.

Factions and Deckbuilding

There are 4 main factions in the game: Haven, Necropolis, Inferno, and Academy. Each has its own style and card types, meaning the way you play with one faction might be totally different from how another one works.

Decks include more than just creatures and spells. You'll also find artifacts, hero upgrades, and building cards. These let you change the board itself, creating conditions that give you the edge if used well. The mix of card types opens up lots of possible strategies.

As for how you get cards, the game has a card pack system. That's where the earlier bundles came in, offering dozens of packs along with limited-edition content.

The Sea of Fates: A New Setting

The game's setting is a shattered multiverse called the Sea of Fates. In this world, timelines and realities have collided, bringing together different versions of characters and stories from the franchise's long history. That's what allows the game to feature such a wide range of heroes and creatures.

You lead one of these heroes into battle, with each one acting like an RPG character. As you play, they gain experience and unlock new abilities that can shift your strategy completely. No 2 heroes are the same, and how you build around your chosen one matters just as much as what cards you include in your deck.

Playing Solo or PvP

You can climb the ranked ladder in competitive PvP, or take part in solo seasonal events. The game is designed to support both types of play. Solo modes include faction challenges, giving players who prefer non-competitive experiences something to sink their time into.

The beta now supports both formats, and Ubisoft is using this test phase to fine-tune the balance and gameplay pacing. The developers have said that this period is important for shaping what the launch version of the game will look like.

Timeline So Far: How We Got Here

Ubisoft first revealed Might & Magic Fates in April 2025. The game was introduced as a blockchain-powered card game developed in partnership with Immutable. It's built on Immutable's zkEVM, a Layer 2 Ethereum scaling solution made for gaming.

At launch, Ubisoft made it clear that the game would focus on fair play and skill-based progression. There are no pay-to-win mechanics. Players advance by learning the game, not by spending more.

The open beta doesn't focus on its blockchain features, but behind the scenes, the game supports onchain trading for certain cards. That part of the game will come into play more at launch, especially for those who bought early access bundles.

The Founder Bundles

In August 2025, Ubisoft released the Founder Bundle for $49.99. It came with 60 card packs, one limited Shi-No-Shi Legendary card, and an exclusive Sandro profile picture. That bundle was available until October 5.

Then in September, the Key Founder Bundle launched. Priced at $79.99, this premium version included a random tradable faction key, 90 card packs, 2 limited Legendary cards, a special faction pack, and cosmetic items like a unique Sandro card back. It also gave buyers VIP status and permanent perks like a 20% discount on all card packs.

Access to special content, early events, and seasonal offers was also included, making it the top-tier option for early adopters.

Early Rewards Already Rolling Out

The team has already started giving out early rewards. Players who bought a Founder Key during the presale period, before the discount phase, were recently airdropped a special NFT card: the Greater Air Elemental. This is a rare card with a total supply of just 1,200 units.

It's one of the first special cards linked to player wallets and serves as a reward for those who supported the game before its beta even began.

Beta Content: What You Can Expect

In the beta, you'll get to test all the core systems. This includes deckbuilding, faction-based play, hero upgrades, PvP matchmaking, and solo event access. Tradable cards already owned by players will work during the beta, so you can start using parts of your collection right away.

Even though certain bundle rewards won't appear until the full release, the rest of the game is available now in participating regions. Players can level up, unlock hero abilities, test different factions, and prepare for global competition.

What's Next for Might & Magic Fates?

There's still no exact launch date for the full release, but Ubisoft has said that progress made during the beta will carry over. That means your unlocked heroes, your card collection, and your gameplay stats will all stay with you once the game moves out of testing.

More regions are expected to join the beta soon. For now, access is limited to Poland, Ukraine, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Thailand. Additional areas will be added in time, with invites going out to more players over the coming weeks.
