The Next Magicka Expansion Taps Lovecraft, Pokes Minecraft

Goodbye, Vietnam. Paradox Interactive’s acclaimed and comical multiplayer wizard computer game will be getting an expansion called The Stars Are Left. It will pit up to four players against monsters in “a horror-mystery inspired byt he Cthullhu Mythos.” So says the PC-gaming champions at Paradox. They say that the expansion, made by the Magicka madmen at Aarowhead, will be out this Australian summer.

Sold? They say the game will include the following features. Note the final bullet point from Paradox’s press release for the expansion:

An all-new adventure, several levels long, allowing players to get lost in space and time
• 2 new challenge maps
• 2 new robes
• 2 new bosses
• 5 new achievements
• 7 new enemies
• Considerably more than 2 new items and Magicks
• Also, we make fun of Minecraft this time

The first crazy Magicka expansion brought the sorcery game to Vietnam. This isn’t as nuts, but, well, there’s still hope.
