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 reached over ONE MILLION downloads within the first few months of the official launch on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo consoles, setting new records for the game’s 17-year history!
Previously only available on PC via Steam and through the official Wizard101 website, the recent launches of the family-friendly MMO to consoles invited a whole new player base to experience the Spiral’s magic. Now more people than ever can enroll in the prestigious Ravenwood Academy — exploring the realm’s many mystical worlds, meeting a roster of charming characters, and experiencing the beloved title’s magical gameplay.
"This milestone is truly telling of the strength of the Wizard101 brand and its player base," said Wolfgang Duhr, CEO of gamigo group. "This project was long-awaited by players worldwide, and we're happy to say it was worth the hard work it took to make it a reality. We aren't ready to put away our wizarding wands just yet though — there're many milestones ahead of us for Wizard101, KingsIsle Entertainment, and gamigo group as a whole."
