Publisher Numskull Games and indie studio UpFox Labs have announced that their whimsical 2D roguelike, Folly Of The Wizards, is officially set to launch on September 19, 2025 for Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
In Folly Of The Wizards, you step into the pointy shoes of a clumsy wizard’s apprentice, fumbling your way through the ranks of a shadowy magical cult. Armed with unstable spells and questionable judgment, you’ll dive into procedurally generated dungeons packed with bizarre enemies, magical mishaps, and slapstick chaos.
Expect runs filled with unpredictable spellcasting, platforming challenges, and tough decisions—like whether to befriend (or betray) the eccentric cultists you meet along the way. With more than 100 unique items to collect and 10 hand-drawn regions to explore, every attempt promises new surprises, fresh laughs, and a high chance of blowing yourself up… again.
