Following the recent unveiling of the Brotherhood release date, our Discord server and Social Media platforms have been ablaze with excitement and activity... 🤩 And we just love it! Your curiosity regarding the gameplay of the Brotherhood update was quite evident, and we tried to answer your questions as efficiently and quickly as possible. However, their numbers continued to increase with each passing hour... 🧙♂ Therefore, we decided that it would be easier to collect them all in one list and answer them collectively.

Will the Brotherhood update will be available for PSVR2 - At this point, we can't say anything for sure, but know that we are fully aware of how fantastic and popular the PSVR2 platform is and how many great opportunities it offers. We'll be sure to let you know as soon as any specific information becomes available. 2. What will be the Brotherhood price? - No worries! The Brotherhood update is 100% free of charge. 3. What exactly is the Brotherhood update? - The Wizards – Dark Times: Brotherhood is a combination of two titles: • the remastered version of The Wizards - Dark Times, a story-rich singleplayer game released in 2020 (now with lots of fresh improvements, graphic revamp, and new enemies) • the brand-new free co-op mode where you can join forces with up to two friends and face incoming dangers as a team of three powerful mages (the multiplayer mode features new maps with unique objectives, challenging boss fight, news spells and enemies) 4. Will the Brotherhood update be released on Meta Quest 2 and Oculus Rift at the same time? - Yeah! Along with the Steam and Viveport versions. 5. Will I be able to play The Wizards - Dark Times: Brotherhood on Meta Quest 3? - You will be able to enjoy the game on Meta Quest 3 with all its improvements and new features. 6. Which platforms will get the Brotherhood update on the 19th? - You can find the answer in point 3. 7. Will there be a second Brotherhood beta? - This is still to be decided, but (remembering how great the first one was) we really want to run another beta. 8. Will the Brotherhood update feature cross-play? - Yes, there is PCVR crossplay (Steam x Vive x Oculus Rift), but PCVR players won't be able to play with Quest users. 9. Is there a in-game voice communication? - Yep! Brotherhood is all about teamwork and making friends, and that would not be possible without good, efficient voice communication! 10. Are we still looking at the same class system from the beta with the same spell set? - Yes, although we made a few minor adjustments such as assigning a different HP pool to each class, variations in the movement speed, durability of shields, or class-specific auras. 11. While in the multiplayer mode, can I play as a team of two or solo? - The choice is yours alone ...Not Only Wizards, but Brothers 🧝♀️🧙♂🧝♂️Aug 14, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsThe Wizards - Dark Times: Brotherhood Fulfill your dreams of exploring a land of magic and fight your way through malignant forces in this first-person VR adventure, this time with two friends!
