Wizard101 gets Nintendo Switch release date

Publisher and developer KingsIsle Entertainment have finally announced the release date for Wizard101 on Nintendo Switch. Originally launched exclusively for PC back in 2008, the long-running MMO will arrive on Nintendo’s platform on January 13.

In Wizard101, players become students of magic who must protect the Spiral, the game’s fantasy universe, from various threats. Battles are turn-based, with players casting spells and using different magical gear through a card-inspired combat system.

More details about Wizard101 can be found below.

Dark magic has enveloped Wizard City and the many realms of the Spiral. As a new student at the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, you might just be the last hope to stop the forces threatening to upend the balance of the world. Unleash your magic and dive into the mysteries surrounding a rogue professor and his nefarious schemes. As you progress through the story, the looming darkness grows in strength, putting the Spiral at risk.

Sharpen your strategy and wield potent magic in thrilling turn-based card battles. Be sure to customize your spell deck before each encounter to ensure you have the right cards at the right moment! Face enemies on your own or team up with friends to face bigger threats.

Additionally, wizards are encouraged to take a break from the action with a host of non-story-based activities! Hatch and train cute pets, craft powerful weapons and gear, reap rewards through gardening, catch rare fish, or personalize your home with castle decorations.

The Spiral is constantly expanding with new worlds, features, and adventures. Are you ready for the challenge?
