Wizard101 features fantasy adventure and collectible card-style game play plus fun arcade mini-games. Under the direction of noted online game developer J. Todd Coleman, Wizard101 has been designed for collaborative play in which players benefit from playing together. A tiered chat system and pre-defined naming system is in place to create a safe online environment for tween and teen audiences while still providing engaging entertainment for the entire family.

As part of the character creation process, players will take a quiz to determine which of Ravenwood's seven schools of magic best suits their personality before they begin to collect and cast spells summoning imaginary and frequently silly cinematic creatures. As the player adventures through 3D environments encountering scenarios and characters based on history, mythology, pop culture and pure fantasy they will be able to upgrade their costume and magical accessories, adopt bizarre pets, solve puzzles, make friends and more.

Wizard101's collaborative play style supports an environment where players benefit from working together in adventure quests. A tiered chat system and pre-defined character name generator create a safe community for younger players while an Arena provides a spot for more traditional gamers to show off their player versus player spell-casting skills. As they adventure, players can upgrade their costume and magical accessories, adopt bizarre pets, solve puzzles and play mini-games. At launch, Wizard101 will be free to play, with advanced play content available by subscription.

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.

Publisher KingsIsle Entertainment announced that Wizard101 will finally land on Nintendo Switch! Soon, the world of The Spiral will be officially available on all platforms, both PC and console. 

Previously only available on PC, last year’s release of the family-friendly MMO on consoles invited a whole new generation of young wizards, alongside returning Ravenwood Academy alumni, to immerse themselves in the Spiral’s multitude of mystical worlds. With its launch on Nintendo Switch, soon more people than ever can experience a realm full of charming characters, fantastical environments, and magical gameplay.

Wizard101 will be available to purchase on the Nintendo Switch for $19.99 USD and will include full access to the first of the current five story arcs of the Wizard101 storyline. As players progress further, content can be unlocked through the purchase of Crowns, the Wizard101 in-game premium currency. 

Wizard101 is also available to download for free on Xbox and PlayStation consoles, and players can enjoy free content up to the recently expanded Free-to-Play area in the Oasis zone of Krokotopia. Accounts created on a Nintendo device will play on the same server as the other console players, however cross-progression is currently unavailable.
