KingsIsle Entertainment has announced the release of the Wizard101 Summer Update that brings a number of updated features and new content into the game. Most notably, new wizards will find a retooled Wizard City including streamlined quests to “make new wizards feel right at home”.
“We’ve taken the lessons we’ve learned over the last decade of content creation and applied them to the very beginning of a player’s adventure. The stories are engaging and snappy, it’s the Wizard101 experience that dedicated players know and love from the later worlds the moment you create your character.” – Leah Ruben, Game Director
Other notable components of the Summer Update include:
- Adventure Parties allow players to create appointments to facilitate meeting up in game
- Friendly Flag that lets wizards identify themselves as wanting to chat or group up
- Team Up Volunteers who toggle themselves as willing to group up with others and to be able to reach them quickly if they need help
- Beastmoon Monster Mayhem has a new map and monsters to battle
- Deckathalon towers earn players school-themed pets and a trophy for reaching the top of the leaderboards
- Pet Promenade earns points for playing with pets
- the Spiral Scene shows off cool player castles
