KingsIsle, the makers of Wizard101, have unveiled their plans for the next big content update for their card-iconic kid's game. With players still investigating the new PvP spell arena recently added to the title, it's interesting to see new content like this announced so soon! Players who have already worked their way through the four Wizard101 worlds will have a new realm to explore: the world of Dragonspyre. The site of a once-active magical school, the new zone is now a burnt-out husk.

Players will be forced to deal with dark creatures specializing in Fire Magic, and a slew of new opponents. The new content area is expected to drop sometime in January of 2009. Read into the preview from Warcry to enjoy a bevy of screenshots of the new area, or check out Tipa's writing about the game at West Karana for a player's view of Wizard101.

Wizard 101 is a kid friendly game ;) To bad I am not a kid any more.

Don't dismiss it because it's "kid friendly". My wife -- who had been playing nothing but more "casual" games -- just signed up for a year subscription because she had maxed out her options with the free version, and she wanted to keep playing.

Yeah, it's not usual MMO fare for those oh-so-discerning gamers who have such refined and cultured tastes, but as any TRUE gamer knows, a game is a game, regardless of it's intended target audience.

I do not dismiss it like its "kid friendly". I am a huge Nintendo fan I love all Zelda games... but this days Nintendo does not care about the hard core any more and release crap games.

But this game is just a little to normal it does not bring any thing new to the mix...

It is more a family game than a kid game.

I disagree Jack. The card-game/turn based combat style is definitely innovative, and the story-line is by far one of the most immersive I've gone through.

Give it a try, you never know what could happen. Plus, they have a free version that you can play forever (just can't level up very high).
