Wizard101’s Ahmarra Update Will Come to Xbox Later, With No Date Yet

Wizard101’s biggest content update of the year, Ahmarra, will come to Xbox Series X|S at a later time, with no date given. The update is out today on Windows PC. The base game is already on Xbox, but this is not an Xbox launch for Ahmarra.

Developer KingsIsle Entertainment has confirmed the later Xbox arrival, and that is the line to hold for now: Xbox players will have to wait.

A hidden world in the seas

Ahmarra is a new world: a mysterious island hidden within the seas, where players hunt Miranda Briar and the Broken Branch. On Windows PC, this is also the first time a Wizard101 launch has gone out simultaneously for players in North America and Europe. It is available today through the official Wizard101 website.

Level cap, new spells and loot

The level cap rises from 180 to 190. Every school gets a new spell, with two upgrade paths through Spellements: raw magical power, or more advanced Magic Wheel effects. Named examples in the release include Hurricane, Flamelash Squid, an Eldritch Ritual and summoning a Ravenous Swarm.

Hats, robes, shoes and wands drop from final bosses, with better odds on repeat wins until a drop is guaranteed. Amulets, athames, decks and rings move to level 190 crafting, with no additional restrictions. KingsIsle has also bundled in quality-of-life changes, including new fishing tools, mount enchantment swapping, clearer pet hatching, the option to invite guild visitors to raids, and custom keybinding.

KingsIsle Entertainment has released an official launch trailer for Ahmarra, which you can watch below.
