Wizard with a Gun Gets 4-Player Co-Op, Expanded Difficulty Options in Latest Update

Developer Galvanic Games and publisher Devolver Digital have released a new update for action-adventure title Wizard with a Gun. As part of the update, titled Better Together, the game now features 4-player co-op. Check out the trailer for the Better Together update below. Check out the complete patch notes below as well, while you’re at it.

Better Together is a free update, and allows co-op for up to four players. Along with co-op, the update also brings a host of content changes to Wizard with a Gun, such as new difficulty levels, custom difficulty options, and content related to the gate of the Oculus.

The studio had announced the Better Together update for Wizard with a Gun just last week. Before the update, the game only featured co-op gameplay for up to two players. The studio originally wanted 4-player co-op in the title, but development constraints forced it to go with 2-player co-op for launch before expanding on its in the latest update.

Wizard with a Gun is available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. For more details, check out some of the older trailers that had been released for the game showcasing its surreal environments and co-op gameplay.

Known Issues + Things we’re working on!

Boomerang powder might not unlock if you’ve already completed some physics research (we’re patching this in the next update!)
The Huntress might incorrectly loop an idle animation.
An endgame quest might appear incomplete in multiplayer (the game will still progress, you’ll just have the quest marker active)
Some bounty guns will not be available (these are being patched back in soon!)
“Shattered Soul” has an incorrect description (woopsie!)
Charmed entities that have been revived might incorrectly display on the map (your zombie children are not real!)
Swapping items into processing stations might no longer remember their origin (it was in your backpack, but now it’s in the chest)
The “burning” VFX might obscure some smaller enemies
Odden’s Middle Finger might not display correctly on the gun mount building
“0/1 gears collected” might display after collecting all gears (there is not a secret hidden gear, I promise)
