We answer Community questions - check out the Brotherhood FAQ 📜

[h3]The Wizards - Dark Times: Brotherhood update FAQ is here![/h3]
[hr][/hr]
Following the recent unveiling of the Brotherhood release date, our Discord server and Social Media platforms have been ablaze with excitement and activity... 🤩 And we just love it!

Your curiosity regarding the gameplay of the Brotherhood update was quite evident, and we tried to answer your questions as efficiently and quickly as possible. However, their numbers continued to increase with each passing hour... 🧙‍♂

Therefore, we decided that it would be easier to collect them all in one list and answer them collectively. And that's how the Brotherhood's FAQ came to be!

[h2]Let's get to the questions![/h2]
[hr][/hr]
1. Will the Brotherhood update will be available for PSVR2
- At this point, we can't say anything for sure, but know that we are fully aware of how fantastic and popular the PSVR2 platform is and how many great opportunities it offers. We'll be sure to let you know as soon as any specific information becomes available.

2. What will be the Brotherhood price?
- No worries! The Brotherhood update is 100% free of charge.

3. What exactly is the Brotherhood update?
- The Wizards – Dark Times: Brotherhood is a combination of two titles:
• the remastered version of The Wizards - Dark Times, a story-rich singleplayer game released in 2020 (now with lots of fresh improvements, graphic revamp, and new enemies)
• the brand-new free co-op mode where you can join forces with up to two friends and face incoming dangers as a team of three powerful mages (the multiplayer mode features new maps with unique objectives, challenging boss fight, news spells and enemies)

4. Will the Brotherhood update be released on Meta Quest 2 and Oculus Rift at the same time?
- Yeah! Along with the Steam and Viveport versions.

5. Will I be able to play The Wizards - Dark Times: Brotherhood on Meta Quest 3?
- You will be able to enjoy the game on Meta Quest 3 with all its improvements and new features.

6. Which platforms will get the Brotherhood update on the 19th?
- You can find the answer in point 3.

7. Will there be a second Brotherhood beta?
- This is still to be decided, but (remembering how great the first one was) we really want to run another beta.

8. Will the Brotherhood update feature cross-play?
- Yes, there is PCVR crossplay (Steam x Vive x Oculus Rift), but PCVR players won't be able to play with Quest users.

9. Is there a in-game voice communication?
- Yep! Brotherhood is all about teamwork and making friends, and that would not be possible without good, efficient voice communication!

10. Are we still looking at the same class system from the beta with the same spell set?
- Yes, although we made a few minor adjustments such as assigning a different HP pool to each class, variations in the movement speed, durability of shields, or class-specific auras.

11. While in the multiplayer mode, can I play as a team of two or solo?
- The choice is yours alone - you can play alone or with one or two friends.

12. What are the character classes and do they have their own unique class spells?
- There are three character classes at your disposal: Fire Mage (damage dealer), Frost Mage (tank), and Storm Mage (support). Nevertheless, all of them, if used properly, are capable of inflicting high damage. Each class has a set of unique abilities.

13. While in the multiplayer mode, are we limited to one Fire, one Frost, and one Storm mage?
- Again, the choice is yours! You can combine any kind of team you see fit: three tanky Frost Mages? Sure! Two Fire bursters and one Storm Wizard? No problem! We are sure you get the idea :) However, class diversity usually means easier run, as the classes complement each other.

14. How many maps are there in multiplayer mode?
- There are five maps that differ from each other in appearance, atmosphere, and objectives to be completed. These include a boss fight map.

15. Are maps in the multiplayer mode selected randomly?
- Yes, you never know what combination of maps to expect!

16. Will Fire Wizards be able to conjure fire swords?
- No, but magic swords can be conjured by the Frost Mage. Fire Mage can summon a powerful magma lance.

17. I would like to practice my spellcasting skills a little before I play online. Can I play with bots?
- There are no vs. bots mode, but worry not! A good training for online play is to go through a single-player campaign. Moreover, there is a training ground in the online lobby, where you can freely edit your skill tree and practice casting different spells.

18. Is there a way to check my current HP state?
- There will be three crystals on your glove and they will mark your current HP.

19. Have any bug fixes been implemented in the Brotherhood update?
- Yes, we got rid of bugs reported to us by the community.

20. Will we see another trailer before the update is released?
- One more trailer is sure to be released.
