No development team members were involved in the making of this video as they’re stuck in their cave working on patches to fix the current online issues, adding content and implementing player requests like keyboard mapping and more. For those having trouble with the online co-op, the multi-player is running smoothly over LAN and local co-op.

Magicka is available for $9.99 on all major digital distribution portals. Those who have purchased before January 31st will also receive the Wizard Survival Kit as a bonus.
