Wizard against wizard, Magicka gets PVP

On June 22, 2011 by Ash Meehan

Today Arrowhead game studios has released Player Vs Player combat into their crazy wizard game Magicka. Players will be able to fight each other in 1 of 3 modes which are Classic Deathmatch, Brawl mode and Krietor mode. Each mode is detailed below.

  • Classic Deathmatch: Instead of accidentally zapping your companions, you kill them on purpose! It’s every wizard for himself as up to four physically inept beings duke it out in a one mage takes all battle.
  • Brawl mode: In Brawl, each player/team only has a set number of lives, and the last ma…wizard standing wins. Just make sure your “friends” don’t squander those precious lives.
  • Krietor mode: A fiendish new mode named after a clever Magicka fan who modded the game, the round-based Krietor mode unlocks Magicks at special intervals during the match, forcing players to come up with different strategies as new spells become available.

The new PVP addition will come at no extra charge, but you can purchase new arenas for a fee. Arrowhead did say in their press release “As always players will be able to play the maps even if they didn’t purchase them – as long as the player hosting the map owns the map.” So you don’t need to rush out and grab the new arenas.

Reservoir Robes

More details were dropped including new reservoir robes which is nicely described in the Magicka news article

Prance through the forest in style with this dapper new Wizard robe featuring a black tie, sunglasses and the always classy M1911 handgun. With over 10 colors to choose from, you too can form a color themed posse with your friends. So band up and try toheist something, although there is seemingly no money in Midgard.

Also to end it out in a high note Arrowhead also made a live action trailer to go with the release of the PVP.
