AUSTIN, TX – July 26, 2023 – KingsIsle Entertainment, renowned creator
of the popular MMORPG Wizard101, is excited to announce the launch of
its latest update, The Crying Sky Raid. This innovative release
introduces several new features to enhance gameplay, including an
eagerly anticipated new guild boss challenge, increased customization
options including name and gender changing, and new PvE and PvP
events.
The highly anticipated Crying Sky Raid is the heart of this update, a
brand-new guild boss challenge that will push even the most
experienced wizards to their limits. In this thrilling team raid for
max-level wizards, players will return to the ruins of the world of
Azteca, fighting a cult of insane dinosaurs in an epic battle against
a Cosmic Horror. The raid adds a fresh dimension of strategy and
collaboration to the game, offering exciting raid gear and other
rewards, such as new gear, pets, and jewels for taking on the
unprecedented puzzle challenges.
The update will also give players more character personalization
options than ever before with the new name and gender change feature.
Players will now have the freedom to change their characters’ names
and gender one (and only one) time, offering the opportunity to
redefine their wizard’s identity. Also added are a bunch of new names
to select from to make each wizard even more distinct.
Further enhancements include updates to Challenge Mode, an option for
players to experience boss fights at two different difficulty levels
and their resulting rewards. The enhancements create a more tailored
gaming experience that suits players of different skill levels.
“The Crying Sky Raid update has something new for all levels of
wizards. The raid itself immerses our most veteran wizards in a
challenging romp through Azteca, which will take unparalleled skill
and coordination,” said Artie Rogers, Design Director of KingsIsle
Entertainment. “The rest of the supporting features add long-awaited
customization, challenging new ways to experience existing content,
and quality of life features to make your time in the Spiral even more
enjoyable.”
Meanwhile, fans of the monthly Beastmoon Hunt and Beastmoon Monster
Mayhem events are in for a treat. New options, rewards, and gameplay
improvements give players an enriched Beastmoon experience, either for
team-based PvP skirmishes or PvE boss monster hunts. Unique rewards
are also up for grabs, including new event pets and beastforms. These
updates take the fun, excitement, and competitive spirit of these
events to new heights.
Lastly, The Crying Sky Raid update also improves the Hatchmaking
Kiosk, giving players the ability to expand their pet collection and,
best of all, make it easier to hatch their pets with a friend or
another player. Players can search the kiosk, see if the owner of a
pet is online, and then hatch with them in person for half the normal
hatching cost. Pets hatched this way allow them to earn lending
rewards, giving players the opportunity to really grow their pet
collection.
