Wizard101 has grand, sweeping plans for 2017, starting with the upcoming release of Mirage, its Arabian Nights-themed world.
According to the team, Mirage will be on the bigger side and one of the game’s “most cinematic worlds yet.” Players will enjoy new quest animations, a magic carpet ride, and the Thieves’ Den homage to Star Wars’ cantina scene. It also sounds like there will be faction grinding with the patch, allowing players work toward rewards offered by major forces in the city.
“We’ve already been talking about what’s coming to the Spiral in 2017 and we’re super excited to get started on it,” said Senior Producer Leah Ruben. “You may get by with a little help from some new friends. You may be inspired to travel the worlds of the Spiral again with renewed purpose. You will certainly have new foes to battle, new allies to collaborate with, and new powerful items to seek out. We’ve been scouring the forums for feedback, and are already working on the initial stages of our devious plan to create lots of fun content and improve the game next year, so stay tuned.”
