Digital Eclipse has announced Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, a full remake of the original Wizardry game that started the franchise. After two years in development behind the scenes, it is available now in Early Access for PC via Steam and GOG for $29.99.
Based on its current scope and resources, Digital Eclipse expects Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord to be content-complete and leave Early Access by the end of 2024. However, this is not guaranteed as unforeseen factors might lengthen the development process.
The entire core game is playable in the Early Access version, though there may be some bugs and some visual elements are not 100 percent complete. Additional environment and object textures, audio elements, and character animations are still in development. More content and updated assets will be added over time, but some elements may change or stop working in the process. Save games, for example, are expected to break between major updates.
Here is an overview of the game, via its store pages:
