Magicka expansion announced: creepy and massive

27 October 2011

Paradox Interactive and Arrowhead Studios have announced their largest and creepiest expansion yet for the smash-hit indie multiplayer action RPG, Magicka.

The DLC is named ‘The Stars are Left’ and it will be launching ‘this winter’ – which is northern hemisphere speak for maybe just in time for Christmas.

The new campaign will pit up to four wizards against a horror-mystery inspired by the popular Cthulhu Mythos.

The Stars are Left will boast a much-requested feature – a new adventure campaign, including several terrifying new enemies; bosses awakened from the depths of insanity; and several other miscellaneous Miskatonic minions.

Other spoofs ending in “-craft” may or may not also be included.

In an act described by industry colleagues as “more insane than a black goat with a thousand young,” Magicka: The Stars are Left will be available not only to players who purchase the expansion, but to all of their friends, as well.

So long as the host player in a co-op group owns the content, every one of their co-wizards will be able to co-experience the mind-killing terror of the new expansion.

The Stars are Left includes:

• An all-new adventure, several levels long, allowing players to get lost in space and time.
• 2 new challenge maps.
• 2 new robes.
• 2 new bosses.
• 5 new achievements.
• 7 new enemies.
• Considerably more than 2 new items and Magicks.
• Also, we make fun of Minecraft this time.
