The friendly neighbourhood wizards at Paradox Interactive and Arrowhead Game Studios have managed to focus their considerable powers and set a release date for the first major Magicka DLC, Magicka: Vietnam, as well as releasing 10 spanking new screenshots.<\/p>\n

Magicka: Vietnam will be available on all major digital distribution channels on the 12th of April for US$4.99 (±R35).<\/p>\n

In an interesting move, all players will be able to play Magicka: Vietnam as long as the player hosting the session has purchased the DLC.<\/p>\n

“Have you ever wondered what it would have been like if wizards were allowed to roam the jungles of war-torn Vietnam, attempting to bring peace and stability to the region by casting spells on all opponents?” asks Arrowhead Games.<\/p>\n

Magicka: Vietnam features a lengthy challenge scenario that puts you in the combat boots and stylish robe of a Wizard GI. Venture deep into the Goblin-Cong jungle with up to three fellow soldiers in a heroic attempt to liberate prisoners from a POW camp and face off against deadly Vietnam themed enemies. Destroy enemy positions, escape the perils of the jungle and return safely to the evacuation helicopter (“Get to the chopper!!”).<\/p>\n

Magicka: Vietnam also contains a new survival challenge map with increased difficulty in direct response to the request from the community. In the Magickal jungles of Vietnam you’ll have an array of Vietnam-era weapons and a special Magick that calls in a napalm strike on enemy positions. Players will of course still have access to what makes Magicka truly unique – the dynamic spell casting system and a healthy dose of humour.<\/p>\n
