Way back in February it was announced that Wizards Of The Coast and Stainless Games were working together to create a Magic The Gathering game for Xbox Live Arcade. Today it has finally been given a title, and it will be playable at the Penny Arcade Expo this weekend.

Developed by Stainless Games, Ltd., Duels of the Planeswalkers lets players simulate the Magic: The Gathering Trading Card Game through an interactive digital experience. Players take on the role of a Planeswalker, a powerful wizard who battles others for glory, knowledge and conquest.

Each Planeswalker has an arsenal of spells and creatures showcased by virtual cards. Players can either choose to battle against the computer or compete online against real life opponents using Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE service offerings. With endless game play scenarios, including multiplayer game mode, Duels of the Planeswalkers offers an unrivaled depth in which each game is different from the last.

MTG: DOTP is scheduled for official release in Spring 2009, and can be demoed at PAX at Wizards of the Coast’s booth. Any hardcore Magic fans out there? Let us know what you think.
