Master Of Magic Remake Wearing Witch Cloak in December
December is a month famous for bearded, white-haired men in weird costumes and hats, so it seems like the right time of year for Slitherine Games to launch a remake of the classic 4X strategy. Master of magic. Slitherine is referring to them joining Master Of Magic as a reenactment rather than a remake or reboot, saying they have tried to be “loyal to the original in spirit and mood”. You will be able to Gandalf it up from December 13.
While there’s no new footage to share of Master Of Magic right now, Slitherine is promising to release a video showcasing the game’s specific features during its release. They will also release a developer log with more information on what to expect when Master Of Magic launches. The game is already in public beta, if you like a good start you can subscribe here.
Slitherine’s Master Of Magic revamp was first revealed in 2020, after the company bought the rights last year. It’s been a long time since we listen for the last time anything about the game, but the footage Slitherine shared back in May shows that the developers already have the core features of the classic Master Of Magic in place. With only a significant graphical change from the 1994 original, natch. However, they did mention that they omitted random English town names in the magical kingdoms of Arcanus and Myrror. Sorry, Brummies.
Master Of Magic premieres December 13 on Steam and GOG. You can take Free original from GOG until October 2.
