Wizard of Legend for PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC Gets a Release Date

California-based developer Contingent99 has announced that its dungeon crawler, Wizard of Legend, is set to release next month on May 15th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, and the good ol' Linux.

As you may know, Wizard of Legend is the debut project from Los Angeles developer, which was birthed from the team's desire to create a game similar to the ones it loved: action adventure games from the SNES era that emphasized item discovery and exploration.

However, Contingent99 also wanted to expand on the formula with an engaging combat system featuring a pace and feel of modern hack and slash games, with a sprinkle of inspiration from fighting games.

Wizard of Legend is a fast-paced, spell-slinging dungeon crawler with an emphasis on dynamic magical combat. During combat, the name of the game is quick movement and quickly using spells to chain together different combinations to unleash a variety of devastating effects.

It also comes packing local co-op support for up to two players, however, it doesn't feature online co-op.

A price-point for Wizard of Legend has yet to be divulged. You can read more on the game below, courtesy of an official overview:
