Wizard of Legend 2 announced

Humble Games today unveiled Wizard of Legend 2, which is being developed by Dead Mage with guidance from original developer Contingent 99.

The upcoming title is a follow-up to the dungeon-delving original. Players can expect vibrant new 3D visuals and fast-paced four-player online co-op. Also planned are familiar and new Arcana and new spell combinations. Players will return again and again (and again) to master ever-changing rogue-lite challenges of the Chalice of Immortality.

Here’s an official overview with more information:

In an age of myth and magic, ambitious wizards from around the world have assembled to undertake a perilous trial: Journey to the Floating Lands, and prove themselves worthy to command the power of the fabled Chalice of Immortality. Many will try. Most will fail. Only those who have truly mastered the chaotic, shifting elemental forces of Arcana will become a Wizard of Legend!

Prepare to face an all-new series of unpredictably perilous trials in Wizard of Legend 2*—the action-packed follow-up to the acclaimed dungeon-delving original, featuring vibrant new 3D visuals and fast-paced up to 4-player online co-op. Wield familiar and new Arcana, experiment with devious new spell combinations, and seek immortality as you return again and again (and again) to master ever-changing rogue-lite challenges of the Chalice.

Put your spellcraft skills to the test in the Floating Lands—a shifting sorcerous gauntlet conjured forth by Hieronymus, Lanova’s wizard supreme, to find an inheritor to the Chalice’s power. Get to know the peculiar and powerful members of the wizarding council as they oversee, guide, or throw a twist into your trials.

Harness the power of familiar and new Arcana—attacks that tame the land’s magical chaotic forces into the form of fiery projectiles, magical melee strikes, swirling tempests, and more. Discover powers during your trial that change your Arcana (and your play) in unexpected ways. Mix, match, experiment, and master your favorite combinations…until you find a new favorite on your next run.

In Wizard of Legend 2, your wizard takes on the aspects of fire, water, earth, lightning, and air, adding new layers of possibility and potential. Focus on the raw damage of fire or the unbreakability of earth. Move quicker, sling Arcana faster, or seek balance as each trial demands.

Summon friends from around the world to face the challenges of the Chalice in the Wizard of Legend 2’s new, easy to get into co-op for up to 4 players, and unleash magic’s full chaotic potential. Whether you choose to play as a party or go it alone, you’ll have a legendary time.

Each treacherous trial is unlike the last, and the odds are not in your favor. Learn from your predecessors’ failures through a persistent rogue-lite progression system that grants more arcane options to your next initiate. Each trial takes you one step closer to becoming the Wizard of Legend!

*Working title; subject to transformation spell.
