Magicka adds free PvP


As anyone who's familiar with Magicka will know, players killing one another is nothing new. Doing it on purpose, however, is.

That's the theory at least. You've probably always had your suspicions that your good buddy wasn't so 'accidentally' casting lightning while you were wet. All of those paranoid frustrations can now be put to use, as Arrowhead introduces a free PvP mode to Magicka.

In addition, there are a couple of optional, $0.99 USD, maps to buy: Vulcanus Arena, Frozen Lake and Watch Tower.

Best of all, there is a very silly trailer featuring a Steve Buscemi impression. The game's Vietnam expansion was equally silly, which is why Tim and I messed around with it for your reading pleasure.
