Wands

We’re excited to share that Wands is now available on Xiaomi Mi VR. The Chinese equivalent of Oculus Go. Easily enter the beyond in Wands with no PC or wires attached.

Wands is a first person VR experience that offers fast paced magic duels against other players online. Equip your wand with a wide variety of spells and battle other Wielders for fame, power and glory in the realms of The Beyond.

Wands is available for Oculus Go, Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear, Mirage Solo with Daydream, Google Daydream, HTC Vive (Viveport), Steam VR (Oculus Rift, HTC Vive), Pico and Xiaomi Mi VR.

Andreas Skoglund, CEO of Cortopia Studios:

“With the success of Wands on the Oculus GO we always knew that the Mi VR was a platform we wanted to be on. And Xiaomi has demonstrated that they understand what is needed to push the VR technology forward and make it more available and enjoyable. We are very excited to keep bringing our games to the players together with Xiaomi.”

Komuso rules the Beyond combining his samurai past with his present as a Wielder. He hides his true identity through his straw bascinet previously given by his master.

Komuso’s Story

After losing his teacher as a samurai, Komuso became masterless and was thrust into despair and agony. Living on the streets as a beggar, Komuso began his search anew for a fulfilled life. In this desperate search, Komuso found his calling in the Beyond and the many wonders it had to offer. He now lives and breathes for the taste of magic and hides his true identity through his straw bascinet previously given by his teacher.

Andreas Skoglund, CEO of Cortopia Studios speaks with GamesBeat about Wands and Cortopia’s future.

Cortopia has been playing with magic since 2016. Its virtual reality dueler Wands started out on Samsung Gear VR and Google Daydream, but since then, its wizarding empire has expanded to Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and, most recently, Oculus Go in May. PlayStation, one of the leading platforms for VR, is missing from that list, and that’s due to the challenge of porting between platforms. For now, the studio is focused on deepening the gameplay, reaching a broader audience, and fostering its nascent esports scene.

We’re excited to announce that our brand new update 1.4 – Sanctum of Sahir is now available.

The update will be rolled out across all our supported platforms momentarily.

Patch notes

• We’ve rebuilt the whole Workshop from the ground up, making it more spacious, streamlining the functionality of the various stations, and adding a bunch of other improvements
• As part of the rebuild of the workshop, we’ve gone ahead and added a short tutorial to help new players get started with the basics of the game
• A new arena has been discovered in The Beyond: Sanctum of Sahir. This map features 3 separate sections that the duel will progress through as a sandstorm and deadly poison sweep across the map. The battle begins outside a grand temple and ends within the burial chamber of a long forgotten king
• New wand: Scarab of Sahir
• You will now receive Spell Tokens for every level between 2-20, and 1 as part of the new game introduction. This will allow you to have every spell unlocked at level 20. Additionally, you will now gain 100 dust for the first match you play every day, the first match you win every day, and for every level beyond 20
• The mask and outfit cosmetic items from before 1.4 have been replaced with 10 new unique characters. PLEASE NOTE: With the release of 1.4 all of the items in your inventory will be converted to the amount of dust it would have cost to craft them previously. That dust can be immediately spent to unlock the new items available in the workshop.
• New animations, including new casting animations and a unique animation for each character
• Improved UX when unlocking spells and items
• Unlockable titles that players can select from to be displayed by their name
• Easier access to Explore Arenas via the portal
