Paradox Interactive, the publisher behind the recently released and highly acclaimed Magicka, made a surprising announcement at GDC today, a new expansion, set in the hot jungles of Vietnam, with guns.
It seems Arrowhead Studios, the developers behind Magicka, haven't just been fixing the game, they've also been creating what looks to be one of the funniest expansions you'll come across this year.
Take straight from the press release, here's the info:
Have you ever wondered what it would have been like if wizards were allowed to roam the jungles of war-torn Vietnam, attempting to bring peace and stability to the region by casting spells on all opponents? Wait, you haven't ever wondered that? Ever? Okay, so we're probably the only ones who have but in our defense: here's your chance to stop being so closed-minded. Magicka: Vietnam delivers over-the-top action as players take on the role of four meek and physically inept wizards as they try to do what so many 80's action stars have done in the past: blow stuff up.
Sounding good so far? Oh, it gets much much better. They've also released a trailer that's got ten types of awesome written all over it.
Magicka: Vietnam will "soon" be available on all major digital channels. If you haven't tried the game yet, read our review.
