An Explanation for why Magicka 2 Isn’t Coming to Xbox One
Magicka 2 might not be a system seller, but fans of the first game’s wizard-based zaniness may have wanted to keep playing on their brand new, new-gen consoles. Only PS4 owners will get to do that.
Speaking with Gamebolt, the game’s associate producer, Peter Cornelius, explained why Sony offered such an attractive package for Paradox.
We had a few meetings with Sony and realised we agree on a lot of things; what makes a good game, our attitude towards our fans, etc. It’s a great partnership, and we’re really excited to bring this game to PlayStation. Blowing up a friend with a homemade spell-salad is 16 times more fun when you’re within punching distance of said friend.
