Magicians: The Devil's Deal Turns Stage Magic Into First-Person Combat - Focus Entertainment and Uppercut Games Reveal a Card-Slinging Trickster at the Xbox Games Showcase

Focus Entertainment and Uppercut Games revealed Magicians: The Devil's Deal at the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 - a first-person action game built around magical combat with playing cards and a classic white-tipped wand.

Focus Entertainment and Uppercut Games used the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 to reveal Magicians: The Devil’s Deal, a stylish first-person action game that weaponises the theatrics of a stage magician.

The reveal shows the magician breaking free of shadowy puppet strings to tear through enemies with first-person magical combat, flinging razor-edged playing cards and channelling spells through a classic white-tipped wand. The pitch is to become the ultimate trickster, bending sleight-of-hand illusions into lethal abilities.

No release date was announced, but the moody, theatrical reveal made a strong first impression. Magicians: The Devil’s Deal is in development for modern platforms including PC.
