Check it out on Steam where it's already early access.Looks quite interesting, especially they basically run the original
wizardry code in an interpreter and basically put the modern graphics on top. This is a quite interesting approach and quite an achievement, too
bad I never got into the series, dungeon crawlers never were my thing
until Ultima Underworld hit the scene.

But if Greenberg OR* SirTech/Woodward are involved with the project inCan they even do another one? The legal rights to the series seem to
any way, DE is being very tight-lipped about it. I haven't seen any
mention of Greenberg, Woodward, or SirTech being involved except as historical footnotes or as legal necessities (e.g., licensing). Were any
of the old crew involved, it seems likely that Digital Enterprises would
be playing it up.

have landed in japan or not, this is way more complicated than the
rights to Ultima which are split depending on the assets between EA and Gariott, Wizardry is way worse in this regard!
Japan has a long lasting love affair with Wizardry, most JRPGs are
inspired in one way or another by Wizardry. Basically Wizardry came over
to Japan and created the whole Japanese CRPG scene.

Wizardry... and Ultima. Wizardry influenced the combat mechanics of
JRPGs, but the visuals - especially the overland travel - came from
the Ultimas. For a while, Ultima was all the rage there. There are a
number of Ultima games and products that were only released in Japan (including a full-speech version of Ultima Underworld for the
Playstation).
