Wizardry: Proving Grounds will have a physical release on Switch

Wizardry: Proving Grounds is on track to receive a physical release. That news comes from Clear River Games, who will distribute the PEGI version in Europe starting November 21, 2024. Limited Run Games is also readying an ESRB-rated version for fans in North America.

As of now neither company has said anything regarding special editions. It looks like Wizardry: Proving Grounds will only have a standard physical release.

Digital Eclipse’s Wizardry revival preserves the appeal of the classic, with many upgrades for modern role-playing game fans.

Key Features

• Dungeon Crawling, Deluxe: Craft your own party of adventurers and head into the labyrinth at the behest of the mad overlord Trebor, in search of the amulet stolen by the evil wizard Werdna. Battle groups of challenging enemies, avoid hidden traps, and make your way deeper into the dungeon as you prepare for the ultimate battle: Facing Werdna himself.
• Commitment to Accuracy: Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is built directly on top of the original 1981 game’s code. Although it looks all new, underneath the hood is the authentic game.
• Challenge Without Hassle: While the well-known difficulty of the enemies has not been altered, quality-of-life improvements have been added in every area. Party management, navigation, spellcasting, and combat have all been significantly enhanced.
• A Legend Reborn: If you’re just discovering the legendary Wizardry franchise, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is the perfect jumping-in point for new players. Series veterans will love the gorgeous new graphics and sound, and the streamlined interface.
