29 APRIL 2026 - The wait is over! Belgian indie studio Bolt Blaster Games launches The Spell Brigade in full on Steam, alongside its PlayStation 5 debut.
With over one million copies sold during Early Access and a “Very Positive” rating across 13,000+ Steam reviews, the chaotic 4-player co-op bullet heaven is ready to welcome a whole new wave of players.
A message from the developers:
"A BIG MIGHTY THANK YOU to each and everyone of you that have supported us during Early Access! Because of your faith in us, we have managed to keep working on this game full-time for the past year and a half, and we freakin’ love it! As a special token of thanks, we have added an extra skin for each Wizard that will be exclusive to anyone that has played the full game during Early Access. Not to overhype, but they might just be our best skins yet!" - Bolt Blaster Games
It’s finally time! To celebrate the launch, the team has crafted a trailer narrated in rhyme:
The Spell Brigade - Launch Trailer:
The Brigade grows! The Spell Brigade is now also out on PlayStation 5, so you can match with even more wizard friends across PC, Steam Deck and PlayStation.
The Spell Brigade already had a ton of content and continuous updates to keep you busy for hours on end, alone or with friends, and the upcoming 1.0 update will make it even more appealing to return!
\ud83d\udcaa New Foes! - The update introduces new enemies and challenges, including resource-stealing thieves, powerful elite variants that act as mini-bosses, and a brand-new boss encounter.
\ud83c\udf81 Improved Progression! - A new Ascension system lets players reset their wizard rank in exchange for upgraded badges, while optional difficulty modifiers add challenge for those seeking a tougher experience and faster rank gains. As their reward, players will unlock secret outfits that alter each wizard’s starting spell, opening up new playstyles and build possibilities.
\ud83c\udfb6 New OST! - The update is further enhanced by an original soundtrack from Austin Wintory and Dallas Crane. They composed an epic soundtrack for The Spell Brigade, with tracks for every Realm and Boss Battle. \u200b
\ud83d\udd14 A New Wizard! - Perhaps the most welcome surprise, the update also rings in the 15th playable wizard to the roster: Knelly, and her signature spell, Bell March!
\nBolt Blaster Games is not done with The Spell Brigade. They are already working on the next update! It’s still too early to get into more details, but you can expect some more info rather soon!
… In fact, there is already a brand new skin pack that JUST launched! Disciples of Sol’phish is a DLC expansion that features 4 brand new, extra fancy wizard skins inspired by the game’s first boss, Sol’phish, the Long One:
