From an article I found: KingsIsle Entertainment, the Texas-based developer of MMOs Wizard101 and Pirate101, announced it’s newest game today. Called Ravenwood Academy: A Wizard101 Story, the game is KingsIsle’s first single-player game and is coming to PC via Steam. According to the developer, the game is a life sim/visual novel and a prequel to Wizard101 set in the same universe. Players are Ravenwood Academy attendees who must manage their time each day. With four slots to fill, they have to keep up with their studies, extracurriculars, mini-games and social lives. As they build relationships with other students, they can make friends and rivals and romantic partners. The game features several returning characters from Wizard 101.
Key points to note: - No balance school prof at the front. - Death school on the floor has cracks in it. - No trees next to each schools building. - Bartlby has his regular eye. - Obviously night and day. - 0:09 I think the headmaster says "if you are to truly master your MEDICAL talents" maybe he says mythical idk? - Your wizards clothes dont follow any type of school design. (Maybe we are balance wizards?) - 0:26 "You need to get that Tome, right?" What Tome? And why would our wizard from dragonspyre know falmea needs a Tome?
Hahaha, I was just talking with my husband about this 😂 He was like, if we played this game and they had an option to be evil you would go that route. Can't blame me! I'm curious to see what it would be like on the other side 😂
based on what lol? same assets and text ui looks so bad, nothing else that looks promising. Are you looking at the title?? i srsly dont know what made you think this looked good
I am so happy that you got purchased by a new parent company. New worlds, new content that isn't just mobile games and a NEW GAME??? I'm so glad I never gave up on Wizard101
After ALL these years, one of the oldest MMOs msde for kids is finally branching out into having more titles that expand on what its established. Never thought id ever see the day that that would happen to THIS MMO!
This looks really cool so far I hope it is good. Always wanted some more of a story driven experience with actual choices that affect certain things in wiz well here we are now. Very curious as to what its all about in terms of story. Look promising I cant wait.
YOOOOOO LETS GOOOOO!!! I’ve been wanting some kind of way to play Wizard101 offline (just in case the servers ever go down) for years!! Can’t wait to try this out!!
I think it'd be cool if completing this game gave like a spellement pack or something related to spells, maybe even special spells like Loremaster gives, to really emphasize the "mastering magical talents"
Wait so does this mean it will be like a traditional game and we won’t need to pay to access individual lands or is it going to be like Wizards 101 where you either needed a subscription or pay individual parts? I haven’t played that game for years (back when it first came out) because of the payment/subscription so it would be nice to trying it again if it’s a one and done deal
Based on what they showed. Seems pretty basic right now. Choose dialogue and that's it. I hope we get more. Also same assets. Hopefully new locations included.
@pikapat321 It is!? Oh rip the trailer is misleading then. I'm seeing multiple 3D movement. I thought you were able to control your character. Otherwise it be an adventure game with Visual novel aspects.
On one hand, I've been obsessed with Wiz Lore for quite a long time, and seeing a game where you actually attend Ravenwood instead of being Ambrose's child soldier would be amazing---plus, the Diviner---calling him that because a bit of promo stuff has him involved with Balestorm---is from freaking Dragonspyre. Forget Ravenwood before Malistaire had a hissy fit, we might see more of DRAGONSPYRE before they went on a power trip and thought they could tame a god! On the other hand, though, It kinda worries me. I've heard the dialouge before---from the Five B.O.X.E.S. event, when you went to save Falmea from choosing the wrong school (though if the Professor does show up, I'll give this bonus points) so they might be salvaging stuff to make for less work, plus the cheap animation worries me. Honestly KI, this is probably a publicity stunt, but you're not getting my cash unless this, at the very least, isnt a buggy mess.
Its finally here. Wizard102
Yup
they really looked at their playerbase skipping dialogue and said "let's make a dialogue only game"
classic KI
@@MADOYS nah fr 😭😭😭
@@MADOYS agree
Technically it's a prequel so Wizard100
Just realized this means we get to see the completed Ravenwood before Malistaire sunk the Death school.
AHHH I didnt even think about that!
Perhaps we might get to see Dragonspyre academy!!!
“Sorry I’ve got my own problems”
based wizard
The real question is will death school be back where it belongs?
a w101 lore vid would go hard
Doesn't look like it in the trailer but maybe they just reused the assets and now will start adding things (surely)
Yes!!! I saw it but barely!!!!
@@uniqrew9609 Nah, they reused the assets. I can still see the cracks on the Death School logo in the middle of Ravenwood.
Was NOT expecting to see choopo here. Did not know the fella liked Wizard101, but this is a pleasing revelation.
A single player RPG set in the Spiral? Sign me up absolutely.
One of the best games on PC!!!
💀
Visual Novel CYOA set in the Spiral, actually.

That's marvellous!
A wizard101 traditional RPG? 😮
Wait. We’re getting a new game? This is a whole new experience I have never expected to see!
Key points to note:
- No balance school prof at the front.
- Death school on the floor has cracks in it.
- No trees next to each schools building.
- Bartlby has his regular eye.
- Obviously night and day.

He says "if you truly master your MAGICAL talents"
MAGICAL TALENTS.
"Sorry, I got my own problems" Oh I'm going to be SUCH a jerk
I hope they have the option for multiple characters slots, because I definitely want to have a mean character to see what happens 😂
@@hannahminnick7978 Me too. hahaha
Calling it now, exclusive cosmetics in Wizard 101 for players who buy/beat this game.
Amazing…my childhood is revived.
Well this is not something I had ever expected from KI, but I'm very curious to see more about this game.
Having heart palpitations rn. I've never wanted anything more in my entire life. For the love of god, please be good.
The fact we get choices is amazing hopefully I can be evil and make everyone’s day worse.
Hahaha, I was just talking with my husband about this 😂
He was like, if we played this game and they had an option to be evil you would go that route.
Can't blame me! I'm curious to see what it would be like on the other side 😂
It would've been so super if Dell Aldrich could've been the story teller for this game 😢
That would've gone hard
RIP, she was magnificent.
This looks extremely promising.
Idk that text menu looked a bit scuffed to me
I'll give it a chance.
based on what lol? same assets and text ui looks so bad, nothing else that looks promising. Are you looking at the title?? i srsly dont know what made you think this looked good
@@fisizion5091 It reminds me of telltale games.
the word "promising" on a Kingsisle video? Be careful there, pal...
It amazes me how KI continues to be so unimaginative
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑 that’s their creativity
@roybiggums4609 that's every company's
I am so happy that you got purchased by a new parent company. New worlds, new content that isn't just mobile games and a NEW GAME??? I'm so glad I never gave up on Wizard101
*cue Pirate101 slowly dying in the background*
we went from wizard101 to wizard 💯 💀 looks nice doe i exited
You're telling me that it's been 16 years since w101 came out and this is the next step for the franchise that they came up with? That's crazy
Kinda looks disappointing in my opinion. As long as it’s not a visual novel it would be good.
I mean, they did had a Hero101, where you play as Superheroes, but that got canned, so ya. (Meanwhile, I asked for Demigod101)
@@starfish3213it is a visual novel
@@starfish3213 I prefer a visual novel, I'm not the anti-romance type. hahaha
I really hope we get to create our character
Me too
Bro has already beat the Nullity
this looks so good! Can't wait!
After ALL these years, one of the oldest MMOs msde for kids is finally branching out into having more titles that expand on what its established. Never thought id ever see the day that that would happen to THIS MMO!
YES!!! Buying this and hope yall do a Morganthe/Malistaire backstory singleplayer game too
Forget a new world and arc now this it the kind of twist we need! Well done Kingsisle! Sign me up!
So this is the reason KI shut down the bazaar in the original game. To drive folks into this new project.
This looks really cool so far I hope it is good.
Always wanted some more of a story driven experience with actual choices that affect certain things in wiz well here we are now.
Very curious as to what its all about in terms of story.
Look promising I cant wait.
Man, they REALLY dont want to put any effort into pirate101 updates.
If they did this would instead be a web series and not a whole game.
0:29
The fact that it's the fire professor from the Time Travel side quest tells me we're entering more into this timeline of the spiral
LETS GO PYRMOCANCERS HYUA HYUA
PYROMANCERS UNITE!
Pyrmocancers? 💀
PYRMOCANCERS HELP
Wizard101 Dating Sim LETS GO
Ya hahah
This mission was one of those Time Machine events
Wizard101 VN prequel? Let’s go!
This being single player there is no reason it can’t go to console
so excited to see this
This should be free to all who have memberships but even if not, I still want it
Wizard101 dating sim, what a great time to be alive
The Look of the game is enough for me to wishlist it!
man i wish normal wizard 101 would have graphics like these it looks really good
Let’s all guess how many seconds we get to play before a pay wall
I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THINK I’M GOING TO EXPLODE
KINGSISLE YOU'VE DONE IT AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!!!!!
thank you so much
Is this going to be a visual novel style game? God, I hope not. I hope its just an rpg with the style and gameplay of W101.
It’s a single player choose your own adventure game
YOOOOOO LETS GOOOOO!!! I’ve been wanting some kind of way to play Wizard101 offline (just in case the servers ever go down) for years!! Can’t wait to try this out!!
i was really hoping for big graphics changes for a more modern wiz game but still excited
These are their big new graphics 💀 tragic
like this needs more of something... players, new adventures, and make the monster cards look cooler, then ill be there for months
No battling basically wizard 101 sims
Wizard101 spin off rpg was not on my 2024 bingo card but it’s very welcome!
I think it'd be cool if completing this game gave like a spellement pack or something related to spells, maybe even special spells like Loremaster gives, to really emphasize the "mastering magical talents"
When does this come out
Wait so does this mean it will be like a traditional game and we won’t need to pay to access individual lands or is it going to be like Wizards 101 where you either needed a subscription or pay individual parts?
I haven’t played that game for years (back when it first came out) because of the payment/subscription so it would be nice to trying it again if it’s a one and done deal
Exciting!
The inner child in me is screaming of excitement. Played this as a kid and finally they come out with something else😊
Wym they updated the game to level 170 😭
Nice to see Young Falmea and Memphis making a return
I can't wait to know what happened to the spiral back then
This could be so awesome! reusing existing assets to create single player experiences to expand the spiral?! Yes please!!!!
Based on what they showed. Seems pretty basic right now. Choose dialogue and that's it. I hope we get more. Also same assets. Hopefully new locations included.
It’s a visual novel that’s how the genre works
@pikapat321 It is!? Oh rip the trailer is misleading then. I'm seeing multiple 3D movement. I thought you were able to control your character. Otherwise it be an adventure game with Visual novel aspects.
I'm so unbelievably excited!!! ❤
Look amazing ❤
I can't wait! I wanna play it now.
WOOOHOOOO!! THIS IS BEST NEWS IVE EVER HEARD!!!!
so a single player adventure??? I love this idea. I love the art style and vibe of wizard101!!!!
wiz visual novel?? LETS GO‼️‼️🫶
It's not a visual novel
@@man70931 yes it is bb 🤭
This is gonna be amazing!
YESS I LOVE HOW THIS IS LOOKING! I NEED IT IMMEDIATELY!!! ❤
Wizard101 remaster next? 😭
This is so cool omg
That small snippet of gameplay looked like one of those scam mobile game… I hope this turns out to be good tho
It’s a Visual Novel the genre looks like that, look up Digimon Survive
yoo we can finally see the death school in ravenwood
I love this
JOIN THE MYTH SCHOOL
Do we get to go out with Falmea tho
Imagine it’s you play as a death wizard and you end up being malistaire
I am so down for this.
This looks like it’ll be amazing.
o wow nice a non reoccurring membership game!
HYPE

It’s literally the BOXES event as a game so far it looks like. Lame.
this game was awesome back in the day
Wait a ''new'' game?
OMG!!!!!!
AYOOOO?!??!
this is so cool. W Ki.
🔥🔥
I never knew how much I needed a Wizard 101 remastered until I saw this trailer.
Hopefully I can finally play as the villain
I wish Dell Aldrich was here so she could have narrated this. Also, is this only going to be on steam?
wait is this the boxes event but on steam? o3o
Say no more, my loyalty knows no bounds
Please for the love of Grandmother Raven and Bartleby make this Steam Deck compatible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm begging you!!!!!!
This brings back memories ❤
I dont appreciate how they seem to copy fariequeens without crediting her
Who?
Does this mean no microtransactions?
That’s funny, tell another one
cant wait
Wizard102 before GTA VI is wild
What so we get to play as the professor?
I wonder if wizard101 will ever be on consoles
It’s not that kind of game but I bet KI will try anyways
@@violetkalicotons of MMOs have gotten console ports
This looks interesting❤
So excited, I can't wait . When does it come out?
