Drecom opens Wizardry 45th anniversary website and YouTube channel

Drecom has opened a new official website and YouTube channel to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Wizardry series. The website is available in Japanese and English.

The Wizardry series' 45th anniversary is set to formally fall this September, following the full release of Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord for Apple II in September 1981. Digital Eclipse recently released a remake of the series' inaugural title for modern Windows PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch in May 2024.

The anniversary website also includes a Goods page that lists Wizardry merchandise being sold on multiple Japanese web stores. While the collectible photo bromides on ePrint Service are only accessible via Japanese convenience stores, the ones sold via Amnibus and Pen-Pare (Penguin Parade) Online Shop are available to order internationally, as both web stores support the Buyee widget.

The Wizardry series co-creator Robert Woodhead has also joined the anniversary celebrations by contributing a video message that is uploaded to the new YouTube channel. You can also find the video right below.
