PLANO, TEXAS (July 16, 2014) \u2013 KingsIsle Entertainment donned a pair of waders, packed a virtual tackle box and went fishing today\u2014with an all new, magical fishing sport in Wizard101.<\/p>\n
\u201cEver since we created Wizard101, we knew we wanted to bring the magic of fishing to The Spiral,\u201d said Josef Hall, vice president and creative director at KingsIsle Entertainment. \u201cAfter six years of sustained success, we\u2019ve now stocked the lakes and streams from Wizard City to MooShu with all kinds of fish and have given players a cool way to catch them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fishing in Wizard101 involves casting magical orbs into bodies of water to act as both a lure and a float, drawing nearby fish to it and bobbing up and down when they bite. All your big whoppers and small fry fish are available to sell for a profit, to use in crafting recipes or to show off in your characters\u2019 houses.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve taken an everyday pastime and turned it into a magical, rewarding and funny experience with a deep collection system,\u201d said Hall. \u201cPlayers will love showing off their new tanks full of \u2018Codfather,\u2019 \u2018Brain Sturgeon,\u2019 and \u2018Sharkspeare\u2019 fish they\u2019ll now be catching.\u201d<\/p>\n
