In celebration of the collaboration, each title will have its own crossover goodies: for Dungeon Defenders II, players can purchase three new piggle variants in the in-game shop: Baby Piggle, Piggle, and Ravenwood Piggle.
Additionally, these Wizard101 variants are the first Dungeon Defenders II in-game pets that can have multiple different ability elements! Also available for the event duration, Wizard101‘s Mystic Dragon Fruit will appear as special pet food in pet food boxes. On Wizard101‘s side, players will be able to purchase The Propeller Cat Pet from the Online Cart for the duration of the crossover event.
Additionally, Wizards are invited to the party as the world of Wizard101 celebrates its 16th anniversary! To commemorate this momentous occasion, Headmaster Ambrose invited players to submit creations for the professor’s first-ever birthday celebration contest. He accepted artwork, short videos (10-25 seconds), stories, memes, something in-game, or other creative ideas — based on either himself or Ravenwood Academy through X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Discord. Winners will be selected on September 26, on KingsIsle Entertainment’s official Discord and official monthly Twitch Livestream, KI Live. Following this, all players are invited to gather in Commons on Greyrose Realm, Area 01 (or beyond 01 if the area is full) for a party gathering to celebrate the professor!
About Wizard101
A dark magic has enveloped Wizard City and the many realms of The Spiral. As a new student at Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, you might just be the last hope to stop the forces threatening to upend the balance of the world.
