All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Thank you for supporting "Wizardry: The Five Ordeals".
We are sorry that we have not been able to report anything for a while now.
We will report the overall progress as of March 13, 2024.

Overall


Currently, the development team is working on the game itself, editor, and some ports in parallel. We would like to inform you of the current status of each of them.

Game


Due to the ongoing optimization work that has resulted from the development of the previously announced versions for other devices(A.K.A. console or something), we will not be updating the game for several months, except for the beta update on March 21, which will be described below. The content that will be updated in the optimization work scheduled at a later date will not change much for users(and sometimes a slight adverse effect on boot speed may occur), so we would appreciate your understanding.

We have read through all the requests/suggestions we have received since the early access, and we plan to implement some of them as major updates after the release of the versions for other devices. We will announce the specific details as soon as we have them.

Update beta on 3/21

  • Revised some of the names of enchantments
  • Change of the minimum ease of learning magic on the scenario side settings
  • Fixed an issue where some grids were not designated as random teleport destinations
  • Other bug fixes and adjustments

Editors


The English version will be released in June or later. Until then, we will continue to polish the functionality in Japanese only.

Ports


We apologize that it has taken much longer than originally anticipated, and we are still unable to provide a specific time schedule. As soon as we have a better developments, we will provide a summary of future developments, along with an update schedule for the main site and editor.
