"Wizardry Variants Daphne" Original Merchandise Sales Celebration

The "Wizardry Variants Daphne Goods Museum" was held at Bellesalle Akihabara on March 29 and 30, 2025, to celebrate the release of the first original goods of "Wizardry Variants Daphne". Although the weather was cold and the footing was poor on the first day, many visitors came to the event.

Museum Themed Event 

The concept of this event was to create a "Museum" where visitors could enjoy the world of Wizardry, including "Wizardry Variants Daphne", and the event was not only a display and sale of goods, but also an exhibition of images of the settings of "Wizardry Variants Daphne" and a space where scenes from the game could be recreated.

The venue also featured a photo spot that recreates the "Stable" and "Tavern" familiar to visitors to the game!

At the "Stable" photo spot, along with the background of the stable in the game, the floor was covered with real straw, giving the feeling of an adventurer sleeping at the "Stable". The legendary adventurer Lanaville was also left with dirt on her. Visitors could actually lie down on the straw and take pictures, and 850 pairs of visitors enjoyed taking pictures at the "Stable.

A "Tavern" space was set up in the back of the hall where visitors could make toasts around a barrel table. It was a photo spot where visitors could take pictures reproducing the popular scene in the game of toasting with friends.

Life-size panels of seven legendary adventurers were also displayed at the venue. Visitors were able to see the differences in body size between the characters and their races. Visitors were free to take pictures not only at the photo spot but also in the event hall, and they enjoyed themselves in their own ways, such as taking pictures alongside their favorite characters.

Wizardry Goods Exhibition and Sale

At this event, actual Wizardry-related goods will be on display and available for purchase on the spot. The "Wizardry Variants Daphne" merchandise, Bath Powder "Adventurer's Ashes" and "Vorpal Bunny's Ambush," which became a hot topic on social media after their announcement, were actually dissolved in water to check their colors, and T-shirt samples in all sizes were available for customers to hold in their hands. Visitors were able to check the texture and size of the goods before purchasing them.
Two "Wizardry Variants Daphne" merchandise items, "T-shirt (Right Hand of Reversal)" and "Adventurer Tag: No Grade", were also unveiled and sold for the first time at the event. The Adventurer Tag was sold out through this event,
