Duels 2012 “Ascend Into Darkness” Expansion Announced

Though some of you may have heard of it, for the uninitiated, Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 is a downloadable title based on the popular trading card game Magic: The Gathering. None of us here at TSA are very clued up on M:TG, but we enjoyed Duels 2012 immensely, scoring it well-deserved eight out of ten.

WotC has continued to support the game after launch with the digital release of playable decks, today revealing that a fully-formed expansion is on the way, titled “Ascend Into Darkness.” Here’s a basic rundown of what to expect:

  • Three new playable decks: Liliana Vess’s “Grave Whispers” deck, Ajani Goldmane’s “Auramancer” deck, and Ral Zarek’s “Cloudburst” deck
  • Six exclusive sneak-preview cards from the upcoming Innistrad expansion
  • Players can become the Archenemy in single-player and online multiplayer formats
  • Six new single-player campaign levels and eleven Archenemy single-player campaign levels
  • Four Archenemy challenges
  • Four additional card unlocks for all thirteen Duels 2012 decks
  • New achievements on Xbox, Steam, and PlayStation
  • New loading screens featuring art and text exclusive to the Duels 2012 Expansion

Available on PS3, 360, and PC, the expansion will launch on September 12th with a price still yet to be confirmed.

  1. Nice one. Have ploughed through the current decks, needs DlC to keep it thriving online. Great game. Message me if anyone wants a duel….

  2. Nice! Will be getting this then, enjoying myself on Magic 2012 lately and this will add some longevity :)

  3. Good timing, the day after I finish the archenemy campaign. Definitely interested having a go at playing as the archenemy. Hope it’s released soon…
