The title\u2019s official website and App Store\/Google Play pages are now live, with a reward campaign awaiting those who pre-register.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wizardry Variants Daphne is a free-to-play 3D dungeon RPG scheduled to launch in October 2024 for iOS and Android, with a Steam version planned down the line. In a familiar Wizardry fashion, players will make their way through dungeons known as the Abyss as they level their character, stock up in towns, engage in battles and collect items.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1361\" height=\"714\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1361px) 100vw, 1361px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240815-35470-001.jpg\" alt=\"Wizardry\" class=\"wp-image-35474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240815-35470-001.jpg 1361w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240815-35470-001-380x199.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240815-35470-001-768x403.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In Wizardry Variants Daphne, players can form parties of up to six characters (including themselves) to fight against enemies. Featuring a command-based system, the game promises highly strategic battles with plenty of room to make use of skills and spells. It has a vertical screen layout and can thus be played in portrait mode.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of last year, Wizardry Variants Daphne held a closed beta test which gained plenty of positive responses. Based on feedback received during the beta, the developers have been working on resolving issues and expanding the game\u2019s content, which has now reached the pre-registration stage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wizardry Variants Daphne boasts an impressive team too, with Fire Emblem and Pok\u00e9mon artist Yusuke Kozaki in charge of character design and game OST legend Hitoshi Sakamoto composing the game\u2019s music. In addition, the title\u2019s monster designs are credited to Katsuya Terada of Zelda and Tekken fame.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1126\" height=\"708\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1126px) 100vw, 1126px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240815-35470-002.jpg\" alt=\"Wizardry art by Katsuya Terada\" class=\"wp-image-35476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240815-35470-002.jpg 1126w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240815-35470-002-380x239.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240815-35470-002-768x483.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1125\" height=\"710\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240815-35470-003-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240815-35470-003-1.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240815-35470-003-1-380x240.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240815-35470-003-1-768x485.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wizardry Variants Daphne is scheduled for release in October 2024 and is currently accepting <a href=\"https:\/\/wizardry.info\/daphne\/pre-registration\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pre-registrations<\/a> for iOS and Android.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wizardry Variants Daphne, the latest entry to the Wizardry series, is now accepting pre-registrations for mobile platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":35473,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[18,17],"class_list":["post-35470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-global-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Wizardry series\u2019 latest title will get a Steam release and OST by legendary Final Fantasy composer Hitoshi Sakimoto.
