About "With Wizardry"

Since the release of the first title of the series, "Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord" in September 1981, September 2024 marks the 43rd anniversary of Wizardry. Earlier in May this year the remake of the first installment brought the spotlight back on to the series, and in October the latest of the series, "Wizardry Variants Daphne", will be released as the company's first 3D dungeon RPG title.
We are therefore launching a campaign called "With Wizardry" in the hope that not only our company, but also all the users and people involved who have supported us for more than 40 years since the release of the first game, will continue to work together to make "Wizardry" a success in the years to come.
We are planning to hold a giveaway campaign and release new information to encourage people to experience various "Wizardry" titles, including related works, mainly during the anniversary months of September and October.
We hope that many fans will continue to enjoy "Wizardry", which has been loved for many years, and that we can make it a title loved by even more people than it is now. We hope that you will join us in creating opportunities to connect the history of "Wizardry" to the future.
