Wizard101

KingsIsle Entertainment has announced console ports for Wizard101, their nostalgic wizard turn-based deckbuilding MMORPG.

The free-to-play magic school MMORPG is coming to Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4, though a release date wasn’t announced.

Wizard101 was originally released for Windows PC way back in 2008 via its official site and Steam. The console versions will be hosted on a new shared server, so crossplay will be available.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

As student Wizards, you’ll embark on hundreds of quests with hours of fully voiced-over story content, explore 20 whimsical worlds, and become part of a bustling and vibrant community of active players.

A dark magic has overtaken Wizard City and the many worlds of The Spiral. You may be a brand-new student at the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, but you and your magical spells may be the only hope The Spiral has to thwart the evil forces threatening the balance of everything. Unlock your inner magic and prepare to unravel the mysteries surrounding a professor gone rogue. As you master powerful spells, darkness threatens to engulf The Spiral.

Hone your strategy to unleash powerful magic and defeat foes in thrilling turn-based card combat. Add or remove spell cards before each battle to strategically get the cards you need when you need them! Take down foes solo or team up with friends for maximum efficiency.

Take time to relax and rest up before your next big fight with numerous side systems! Hatch and train countless adorable pets, craft mighty weapons and gear, harvest hefty rewards with gardening, reel in your best catches with fishing, or decorate your castle to your heart’s content with housing.
