Well, this is certainly unexpected. We guess Magicka publisher Paradox Interactive wasn't kidding when it said developer Arrowhead Studios would be "a bit daring" with the title's first expansion. Said add-on was revealed today -- and it will take the game's magic-mashing protagonists and drop them into the war-torn jungles of Vietnam. Just check out the debut trailer after the jump!
We've got an appointment to check out Magicka: Vietnam today at GDC, and we'll make sure to let you know if it's just as bizarre as we're assuming it is. Update:Vietnam was not on hand, but we talked about it with Arrowhead. Stay tuned for our coverage.
@ZoneoftheEnders AND the picture describes the action/"pvp" perfectly... The mage who's in front of another mage(s) ALLWAYS get blasted by those damned rays.
Doing something original and different seems to be good way to market this game.I mean for instance i have had zero interest in this game up until now.After seeing this i am now downloading the demo for the core game on steam.
Between this and Gettysburg - Armored Warfare, I can only assume that Paradox really wants to get rid of its reputation as a company that only makes historically accurate games.
Magicka is an action-adventure game set in a Norse mythology-oriented fantasy world. You and up to three other players take on the roles of wizards of a sacred order with the ultimate goal of stopping the evil dark sorcerer that has thrown the world into turmoil as his evil creations besiege the forces of good. By combining elements to cast spells you will wreak havoc and devastation among the lackeys of darkness. Team up with your friends and choose your way through the various levels of the campaign, or test your skill with "magickal" abilities in other challenging game modes.
