Summary (AI)
The Spell Brigade 1.0 update introduces a comprehensive rework of Enchantments, with all prior purchases refunded for re-acquisition. Wizard Ranks have been expanded and Prestige added, while new Wizards, Spells, Outfits, enemies, and a boss have been included alongside new Achievements and quests. Player progression, including spells and realms, has been improved, and numerous UI, performance, and quality-of-life enhancements have been implemented, such as crossplay with PlayStation 5 and lobby codes. The update also features a fully revamped sound design with a new original soundtrack, additional social features like pings and emotes, and extensive bug fixes and balancing adjustments.

  • GIANLUCA - Seeing you all care this deeply about our silly wizard game has been a surreal experience. We hope we’ll make you proud!
