Test Realm Updates



We are excited to let wizards across the Spiral get a first-look at what’s coming for Empyrea Part 2! Today we are opening the Test Realm on weekdays for all wizards with a subscription or a new minimum purchase of Crowns (within the last 30 days). There will be a red ‘Sneak Peek’ image in the upper right corner of the official website that lets you know where to download the game client.

For new players, the Test Realm is where we get your feedback on issues and concerns with new game updates before we officially release them to the live servers. Since we are currently testing Empyrea Part 2, you will need to have completed Empyrea Part 1 before being able to access the new content.

Check out the complete Update Notes and how to connect to the Test Realm in the official forums!

Wizard101 September 2018 Newsletter



Happy 10th Anniversary wizards! We officially crossed the 10 year mark this past Sunday, Sept. 2nd. Our team has been spending months in advance working up new content in the game to celebrate, including work on the 2nd part of Empyrea! Much more about Empyrea Part 2 was also on KI Live last week, which you can watch now on YouTube.

A quick look at some of the things that have happened this past month with the game:
  • 10th anniversary events! See community section below for community run events
  • Birthday quest turned on and now with 10th Anniversary energy!
  • Wizard101 is now available on the Steam platform
  • The 10th Anniversary Storybook has been completed!
  • New Decade Pets! We picked some of our favorite classic (and cool) pets and gave them a shine! There are new, never before seen talents on these pets as well...
  • The 1.370 hotfix also included Mac users now being able to use Photomancy

Also released was a new Producer's Letter, an interview at MMORPG.com with our team, community spotlights, fun community events, and more!
