Japanese video game developer Drecom revealed on Thursday during a livestreamed financial results briefing for the second quarter of the current fiscal year (April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021) that it has acquired copyrights and domestic and foreign trademarks for the Wizardry game series.
The game is part of the long-running Wizardry game series, and was the first Western release for a Wizardry game since 2001.
Drecom’s acquisitions include domestic and foreign trademarks for “Wizardry,” as well as copyrights for “Wizardry 6,” “Wizardry 7,” “Wizardry 8,” and “Wizardry Gold.”
AnimEigo co-founder Robert Woodhead co-created the original Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord game in 1981.
