Wizardy Variants Daphne continues to see significant growth, with 2nd anniversary bringing in record-breaking revenue 

Game developer Drecom published its financial results for the first half of the fiscal year (April to September 2026) on October 29. According to the report, the company’s 3D dungeon-crawling RPG Wizardy Variants Daphne is outperforming itself even as it enters its third year of live services.  

During the first half of the fiscal year, the game saw revenue grow by 12.9% year-on-year. Not only that, but the developers expect monthly revenue for October – during which they launched 2nd anniversary campaign content for the game – to surpass a record high at around 1.5 billion yen (approximately $9.5 million USD). According to the report, the game’s profitability has also continued to improve thanks to efforts to reduce the amount of money trickling to platform holders via transaction fees (such as Google and Apple’s commission). Cumulative downloads surpassed 4 million in August this year. 

Regarding Wizardy Variants Daphne’s playerbase, Drecom says it has succeeded in retaining existing users while incentivizing dormant players to come back, leading to an overall increase in active players. Average revenue per user has also increased year-on-year, though not quite meeting the company’s targets. The game has surpassed $120 million USD in lifetime revenue. 

According to GameBiz, over the next five years, Drecom plans to invest 10 billion yen (about $63 million USD) into expanding the Wizardy IP, which it holds trademark rights and partial copyrights to as of 2020.

Wizardry Variants Daphne is available for PC (Steam), iOS and Android.
