Wizardry was the foundation of the video game RPG, one of the first and best adaptations of the various principles of Dungeons & Dragons, and influenced almost everything that followed. The first one, with the incredibly good name "Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord," was released by Sir-Tech in 1981, and the last one, considered the original series, was released in 2001 (Wizardry 8). Since then, Wizardry has concentrated on the Japanese market (with great success) and mainly on mobile titles (although there have been some MMOs).

Now... Wizardry's IP is now owned by Tokyo-based Doricom, and the company has announced that "the timeless classic will become a blockchain game!" The company announced. Yay. The new game is called "Eternal Crypt: Wizardry BC" and is described as "a blockchain game of the Wizardry IP. It will be a game that everyone can enjoy and immerse themselves in the world of Web3."

Yes, NFT is built in. They plan to sell NFT prior to the release of items that can be used in the game. Yes, they are looking for "a wide range of IP and NFT projects with which we can collaborate". And Zeal Nova DMCC, a UAE web3 shell company, is in charge of publishing.

Any more details about the game?

The press release was really effective in making the veins in my temples throb. Try this one: "One of the missions of this project is to solve the current problems of talknomics in blockchain games and make sustainable talknomics a reality. Sustainable tokenomics! My laughter eats the sun.

Eternal Crypt: Wizardry BC will be released in Asia, Europe, and North America, declaring that "Wizardry, the origin of RPGs, is unleashed with adventurers inscribed on the blockchain. It is a sad fate for a once genuinely important and influential series, and I feel this epitaph is a fitting tombstone.
