Which Magicka DLC Will Be Free? - Magicka Needs You!


Paradox wants you to pick which of these two DLC would you want as a free DLC. They’ve announced Magicka Cavern and Marshlands DLC but only one will be free(these DLC’s are new challenge levels). The other will be a USD$1.99 paid DLC. Watch the trailer they’ve release and make up your mind. Magicka needs you! Once you’ve decided your pick, go to the Magicka Facebook Page and cast your vote. DLC trailer & press release below…




NEW YORK, April 20th, 2011 – Paradox Interactive and Arrowhead Studios have heard the rallying cry from Magicka veterans everywhere: Players want the chance to be killed by endless hordes of monsters, and not just by their comrades. That chance has finally arrived, with a pair of new, Challenge Maps soon available for download and play in Magicka, the Game Which Punishes Typos with Swift Explosive Death™. These maps will be released on April 26th, one of which will be offered without requiring so much as a single potato.

Players will soon be able to punish themselves by attempting the Caverns and Marshlands maps, each featuring a different swarm of terrible creatures with an appetite for your face. Wizards can try to survive the Caverns, inhabited by more trolls than this website, or try something refreshing and new in the Marshlands: Zombies, the monster that fills a completely untapped niche.

While both maps are difficult and dangerous enough that adding them to one’s Magicka game is the demented act of a madman, one of these maps will be offered entirely free of charge, while the other one will cost a comparatively astronomical 1.99 USD. Choosing which map will be free is an agonizing decision though, which we didn’t feel like making, so instead we’re opting to conduct an extremely

scientific poll via Facebook to let Magicka fans ultimately decide. This poll will run for only 24 hours, allowing it to fit within our very short attention spans. Look, a squirrel! Wait, what did we just say?

  2. I know. I think people are voting based on the graphics. The marshlands just don't look that impressive. I think gameplay wise the marshlands has the most interesting tactical difference. Wet water areas with those bloody trees.
