KingsIsle has announced Ravenwood Academy: A Wizard101 Story, a standalone prequel to its venerated MMORPG. The game is coming for PCs via Steam, though no specific release window was revealed. Players will cross paths with some of the Spiral’s most famous faces, including Dalia Falmea, Halston Balestrom, and many more.
The announcement came with a story trailer that set the stage for the game. Viewers get a peek at familiar settings and locations alongside a first look at its features.
Features include
- Foster Relationships: Interact and create connections with diverse characters as you navigate your new school. Who you deem friend or foe will impact your story and unlock special scenes and branching dialogue options. Choose carefully – you won’t have the time or ability to build relationships with everyone you want to.
- Choose Your Path: Decide what activities are most meaningful to you and see how your decisions impact your outcomes. Will you go to the dance or investigate a mystery? Will you hang out with Dalia Falmea or study for a quiz with Halston Balestrom? Choices that may seem small can potentially have large ripple effects.
- Investigate Strange Incidents: Search for clues and interview witnesses when crises unfold at the academy. During your investigation, you might find that not everyone is who they seem to be.
- Test Yourself with Trials: Plead your case during faculty disciplinary hearings and present evidence through dialogue options. Sometimes you’ll be saving a friend accused of misdeeds, while other times you might be trying to save your own hide!
- See a Different Side of the Spiral: Get a glimpse into Ravenwood Academy before the events of Wizard101. Meet and befriend familiar faces, discover untold backstories, and dive into the Spiral’s lore in a whole new way.
Check out the trailer and then add Ravenwood Academy: A Wizard101 Story to your Steam wishlist.
