Wizardry 45th Anniversary Site Opens With Countdown to June 4
The countdown signals a coordinated anniversary project, but the split rights between Atari (first five games) and Drecom (titles 6-8 and Variants Daphne) leave the scope of the announcement uncertain.
Reporting from 1 sources: 4Gamer.net.
The official Wizardry series X account, operated by Drecom, announced the opening of a 45th anniversary special site on June 1, 2026. The site shows a countdown ending around 18:00 JST on June 4, when an announcement is expected. The series debuted in 1981 and reaches its 45th anniversary in September 2026. It is unclear whether the announcement involves the first five games, whose rights were acquired by Atari in May 2026, or the later titles held by Drecom.
The Wizardry series turned 45 this September, and the official X account run by Drecom opened a special site on June 1 with a countdown set to expire around 18:00 JST on June 4. The site currently only says "COMING SOON." Drecom holds the rights to Wizardry 6, 7, 8, and Wizardry Variants Daphne, while Atari acquired full rights to the first five games in early May 2026. Whether the anniversary project covers the whole series or only Drecom's portion has not been stated.
