Retro fantasy FPS Wizordum conjures up a late April launch

Finally back on track and heading towards a full retail launch is Apogee and Emberheart Games’ fantasy shooter Wizordum.

Alacazam!

It might seem as though Wizordum has been ‘gold’ for a while now, since the title’s so polished, but it’s actually been in Early Access since late 2023. And as the category entails, that was an unfinished version of developer Emberheart Games’ retro romp, though things are about to be a lot more final.

Originally penciled in for a March (2025) launch, then nudged to April, publisher Apogee has just revealed that Wizordum will cast its spell onto the PC on April 29th. The full version of the classically-styled, first-person fantasy game will add on a third and final episode of play with that release, seeing mages tackle both icy and molten worlds on their quest to destroy the forces of Chaos.

Along with the new levels, fans will also be able to wield some fresh hardware too. The game will add in “the bolt-throwing Faewood Crossbow and the Staff of Chaos, an elemental triple-threat harnessing ferocious ice, fire, and storm spells”.

As one of the last surviving mages, traverse seven new levels on a journey to eradicate Chaos for good in this magical finale of Wizordum.

Battle arcane foes aboard speedy minecarts across Episode 3’s chaotic fire and ice levels, filled with fiery lava and razor-sharp falling icicles.

Face formidable bosses using all-new mage-tastic weapons, including the bolt-throwing Faewood Crossbow and the Staff of Chaos, an elemental triple-threat harnessing ferocious ice, fire, and storm spells.

Uncover Terrumbra’s ominous past by discovering hidden Lore Scrolls, scattered easter eggs, and secret areas further expanding Wizordum’s mystical world.

Get crafty with the in-game level editor to fully design custom adventures and epic speedrun-friendly challenges. Experience enhanced quality-of-life upgrades across all previous episodes.
