What is the Secret Lair × PlayStation collab — and why it matters?
The Secret Lair x PlayStation Superdrop is a crossover event under the Secret Lair line, where Magic: The Gathering produces limited edition drops that tie in external intellectual properties.
This particular collab injects PlayStation game characters, artifacts, and aesthetics into Magic cards, allowing players to use familiar figures from gaming inside their MTG decks.
What’s notable is that each drop will include new-to-Magic cards (not just reprints) — and these cards will be legal in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage formats. This move reflects MTG’s continued push to merge its core gameplay with pop culture franchises, expanding both collector appeal and gameplay variety.
What franchises and cards are included (so far)
Here’s a breakdown of what has been revealed about the lineup:
- The Last of Us (Part I & II) — Characters such as Joel and Ellie appear with unique mechanics tied to their game themes.
- God of War (Greek & Norse) — Cards representing Kratos (in both his Greek and Norse incarnations) are included.
- Uncharted — Nathan Drake and other elements of that franchise will be translated into Magic card form.
- Horizon Forbidden West and Ghost of Tsushima — The collaboration embraces characters like Aloy (Horizon) and Jin Sakai (Ghost of Tsushima) with thematic card design.
Prices for each drop are set at US$39.99 non-foil and US$49.99 rainbow foil. Wizards has confirmed that non-foil versions will also be made available later to WPN game stores (Wizards Play Network) for local purchase.
When, how, and what to expect at launch
- Release date & time: October 27, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. PT via MagicSecretLair.com.
- Variants: Each drop will be available in foil and non-foil editions.
- Later availability: Non-foil versions will appear in game stores, giving fans a chance to purchase them beyond the initial online window.
- Formats & legality: The collaboration’s new cards will be legal in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage. Other included cards remain legal based on their original print formats.
Expect strong demand, limited supply, and buzz among both MTG players and PlayStation fans. Because Secret Lair drops often sell out fast, those interested should plan ahead.
