Kings Isle Entertainment has announced that two huge new updates are coming to Wizard101 this spring and summer. The spring update is the Advanced Pet system, which lets wizards hatch and raise their very own customizable pets and the late summer update is the new Atlantis-inspired underwater world of Celestia and also raises the level cap.

The Advanced Pet system will allow users to create a pet from "millions of potential combos" and use it in a variety of pet-based mini games. They can also compete in Pet Derby races and use them as allies in duels. By feeding and training their pets, wizards will be able to level them from eggs into super powerful ancient beings.

Interestingly enough, loading the announcement page gives what may be a teaser look at two of the pets. What looks like an ice beetle and a fire cat race across the screen, the cat chasing the beetle, until they collide in a cloud of steam. There's also a teaser image of "The Hatchery," which looks like a place where players can create or augment their pets.

The new Atlantis-inspired world of Celestia will give players new quests to complete and areas to explore, will raise the level cap from 50 to 60 and open up secondary schools of magic. Players will have to wait till late summer to explore the new under-the-sea areas of Celestia, but quests, available in June, will begin to unlock the mysteries of the story of Celestia.
