Big news: Wizard with a Gun is about to get the full multiplayer experience its creators always wanted — and it’s coming free.
Four-player co-op finally lands with the “Better Together” patch
Galvanic Games will roll out the long-awaited four-player cooperative mode on May 13 with a free update titled Better Together. The studio says the plan from the start was to support four simultaneous players, but production constraints forced the original launch to ship with only two-player sessions so they could meet the release window with a stable build. This update completes that original vision by enabling matches for up to four players and ironing out the issues the team encountered while trying to scale multiplayer during development.
More than just extra players: new difficulty options and endgame additions
Better Together does more than expand party size. The patch adds multiple new difficulty tiers — including a customizable difficulty that lets players tailor challenge settings to their preferences — as well as a library feature and fresh content aimed at the game’s late stages. Those additions should change how players approach progression and replayability, especially when combined with the broader cooperative possibilities.
A quick timeline: from Devolver showcases to last autumn’s release
Wizard with a Gun first surfaced publicly in June 2021 during a Devolver Digital event that also highlighted games like Inscryption and Death’s Door. The title then appeared at various Devolver showcases and demo festivals in the run-up to release. Galvanic Games officially launched Wizard with a Gun in October of last year. Coverage and reviews followed — Óscar published an analysis in November when the game’s multiplayer was still limited to two players.
Notable development trivia and appearances
The game’s promotional run included several festival demonstrations and events tied to Devolver Digital; one seasonal showcase around mid-2023 is often referred to now as Junio Jugón (the no-E3 weeks). A small piece of related trivia from those announcements: one of the model contributors featured at those Devolver showcases, Cascina Caradonna, was also known for providing the facial reference for Dina in The Last of Us Part II.
Release specifics and what to expect on day one
Players can download the Better Together update for free on May 13. Expect the core change to be stable four-player sessions alongside the newly added difficulty modes, the in-game library, and the extra late-game content. Galvanic’s patch notes at launch will have the detailed list of technical fixes and balance changes enacted to support larger co-op groups.
