Paradox Interactive and Arrowhead Studios have announced an expansion for Magicka, titled The Other Side of the Coin

The expansion has the player take on the role of Alucart the Vampire and his Necromancers as they fight against the forces of good with the purpose of sacking Vlad’s attempt to improve the poor relations between the humans, the dwarves and the elves.

The expansion follows in the footstep of the highly popular Magicka: Vietnam, with objective based level progression, new story and new playable characters.

Paradox Interactive recently announced that Magicka has sold over 1.3 million units – not bad for an indie title.

The Other Side of the Coin is slated for a Q3/Q4 release, at a price point of US$3.99.
