Wizard101 brings spell-slinging to consoles on October 9, inviting both longtime fans and new players into its whimsical, turn-based deckbuilding MMORPG. The free-to-play magic school adventure arrives on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5, with a Nintendo Switch version planned for a later date.
Console players can download and play for free, exploring content up to the expanded Free-to-Play area in the Oasis zone of Krokotopia. Additional areas and adventures can be unlocked with Crowns, the in-game currency, or through Area Access Passes. To make teaming up easy, the console editions will run on a new shared server with crossplay support, so friends across platforms can quest together seamlessly.
First launched on PC in 2008, Wizard101 has grown into a sprawling, family-friendly online world filled with magical studies, strategic battles, and a lively community. As a new student at the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, you’ll journey through the many realms of The Spiral to confront a rising darkness and uncover the mysteries of a rogue professor. Every step of the story is fully voiced, with hundreds of quests and colorful characters guiding your path.
Combat blends turn-based tactics with deckbuilding depth. Before each encounter, you can customize your spell deck to draw the right cards at the right time, then unleash powerful magic in solo battles or team up with friends to tackle tougher foes. When you’re not saving The Spiral, there’s plenty to do: hatch and train pets, craft gear, tend gardens for rewards, fish for rare catches, and decorate your very own castle.
A new trailer highlights the vibrant worlds and strategic card combat awaiting console players, and there’s no shortage of content to explore. With 20 unique worlds and over a thousand hours of questing, Wizard101 continues to expand with fresh updates, features, and events.
Wizard101 key features:
– Team up for success: Join millions of Wizards, trade Treasure Cards, hatch powerful pets, and take on challenging bosses together.
– Practice makes perfect: Prove your deckbuilding skills in the PvP arena with 1v1 or team-based ranked battles and climb the leaderboard.
– A ride through space and time: Venture across 20 whimsical worlds in an ever-growing story packed with secrets to uncover.
