Wizard101 for Switch launches January 13

KingsIsle Entertainment has announced that Wizard101, the popular online role-playing game, will be available on Nintendo Switch on January 13th. The game originally launched on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 9, 2024.

The game is free to download on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However, the Switch version costs $19.99 and includes the first of the game’s five story arcs. Players can unlock the remaining arcs by buying Crowns, which are the game’s premium currency. Players on Switch will be able to play with those on other consoles, as all versions share the same online server.

Wizard101 originally came out on computers on September 2, 2008. You can still download and play it directly, or through Steam.

Here is an overview of the game, via KingsIsle Entertainment:

About

A powerful, dark magic is spreading throughout Wizard City and the magical realms of The Spiral. As a student at Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, you’re potentially the only one who can stop the evil forces trying to destroy the world’s balance. Use your magical abilities to uncover the secrets behind a dangerous professor. But be warned: as you learn more, the darkness grows stronger, and The Spiral faces greater danger.

Get ready for exciting card battles where smart planning and powerful spells are key! Before each fight, build a unique deck and make sure you have the perfect cards when you need them. You can play solo or team up with friends to take down enemies more easily.

Wizards can also enjoy relaxing activities alongside the main story! You can hatch and train adorable pets, create strong weapons and equipment, grow a garden for rewards, fish for rare catches, or decorate your castle to make it your own.

The Spiral is always growing, adding new planets, things to do, and exciting quests. Are you up for the adventure?
