Wizard of Legend II announced for PC
Publisher Humble Games and developer Children of Morta Dead Mage has announced Wizard of Legend II for PC (Steam). Original Wizard of Legend developer Contingent99 is providing guidance to Dead Mage. A release date was not announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via Humble Games:
❮ ❯In a roundtable interview, Humble Games head of content strategy Becky Sayers explained why a new development team is working on the sequel.
“The Contingent99 team wanted to work on other projects, quite simply,” Sayers said. “They entrusted Humble with the brand and we’re very thankful to them for doing so. They were on board and part of the decision-making process around the next team that we engaged with. Anyone who has played Children of Morta know how excellent Dead Mage is at crafting a strong roguelike experience, so they just seemed like a natural fit. We knew that they were the right team to help expand the vision, they had a great pitch. The original developer saw that pitch from the beginning and was on board.”
Sayers continued, “In terms of the consulting role, the teams have open communication channels. Sometimes the Dead Mage team has questions about the different Arcanas, the lore of the game—ultimately the goal is to maintain a lot of that charm from the game and that really fun fast-paced combat experience. And [Contingent99] is really there to offer support and guidance along the way with any questions the development team has.”
