The Stars Are Left promises a "Lovecraftian horror mystery-campaign that will send the player into the depths of insanity." Sounds good, and if the trailer is any indication, looks good. The expansion will also release today for a price of $4.99 $5.99, the same as slightly more than previous expansion Magicka: Vietnam. The new content can be played by anyone playing with someone who owns the expansion. I think most of Magicka's minor DLC is bad, but actions and content like this redeem everything.
Update: The price on Steam is $5.99, despite the earlier information with the trailer claiming the price would be $4.99. Oh well. Also, two additional mini-DLCs (Holiday Spirit and Horror Props item packs) are now available for $2 each, but they seem a little more substantial than some of the previous DLC.
