Sixteen years after its original PC release in 2008, this family-friendly magic school game is set to bring its whimsical world to a whole new generation of players.

This means that whether you’re on PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch, you’ll be able to team up with other wizards and take on the challenges of the Spiral together.

The game’s turn-based deckbuilding combat, which has become a hallmark of Wizard101, will remain intact on consoles. Players can expect to embark on hundreds of quests, explore 20 whimsical worlds, and become part of a bustling and vibrant community of active players. Whether you’re battling fearsome foes, hatching and training adorable pets, or decorating your very own castle, Wizard101 offers a wide array of activities to keep players engaged.

Wizard101 – The Story Continues

The story of Wizard101 is as captivating as ever. A dark magic has overtaken Wizard City and the many worlds of the Spiral.
