Magicka 2 Released for Linux, Mac and SteamOS

Paradox Interactive, today expanded the potential user base of their sequel Magicka 2. The game that punishes spelling mistakes with instant death, is now playable on multiple operating systems. Previously it was available for Windows PCs but that has been added to with Mac, Linux and SteamOS. With the update comes cross-platform multiplayer as well.

In addition, Magicka 2 will run on the newly available Steam Box with full Steam controller support, enabling players to use a Steam Box in Steam OS to cast Steam on their friends (who may become steamed). A recent update to the game has added three new elements to include in spells, giving wizards a new level of destructive power.

Magicka 2 brings players back to the world of the irreverent co-op action adventure series, providing all-new game features alongside the original’s elemental spell casting system, humor, and always-on friendly-fire. Guided by Vlad, up to four wizards at once can challenge a series of new levels in a co-op campaign, or take on challenge levels for score, prestige, and game-altering ‘artifacts’ that warp Magicka 2 in strange and wonderful ways.
