Magicka: The Stars Are Left Announced!

Magicka was definitely one of my favourite small developer titles in recent time. Despite the bugs at launch, it has managed to stay fresh with it's charming humour and new maps that continue to challenge players. You'll need a good group of 4 players to take on most of the mission(until you've found that overpowering magick that you'll be abusing most of the time). Paradox today announced an expansion, The Star Are Left. It adds a bunch of new levels in a new adventure which promises "players to get lost in space and time". It's due out this Winter so not too long before we get some real content for Magicka. Hurrah! Trailer and press release after the jump...

Magicka Gets R’lyeh Creepy in Newest, Biggest Expansion Yet

NEW YORK — October 27, 2011 — Paradox Interactive and Arrowhead Studios have exciting news for Magicka fans, straight from the Inn’s Mouth: Everybody’s favorite magical multiplayer massacre is taking on an all-new adventure in Magicka: The Stars are Left. Designed for players who love to craft the hundreds of different spells available in Magicka, this new campaign will pit up to four wizards at once against a horror-mystery inspired by the popular Cthulhu Mythos. TheStars are Left will boast a much requested feature from the players – 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  Magicka: The Stars are Left is scheduled to launch this winter.
