Wizardry Variants Daphne / Wizardry VA released some new footage of the title featuring the game’s intro and basic story premise.
The game’s intro begins with what looks like the player character in front of an angry mob, before quickly being executed in front of them. Afterwards, your character wakes up in the dungeon, with a mysterious girl asking if you can see her. The intro could show that for a person to enter the Abyss, a person must first die before diving deep into it to hunt down the Ancient Warlock that plans on ending the world.
It’s worth noting that the Japanese version of the same trailer has voice acting while the English one replaces it with subtitles, suggesting later the English version may also be voiced as they are still working on it.
Wizardy Variant Daphne is set to launch in early 2023.

▍ About Wizardry Variants Daphne
Wizardy Variants Daphne is the latest spin-off title based on the original RPG series, Wizardry by Sir-tech that was initially released back in 1981.
The series began as a dungeon-crawling RPG taking heavy inspiration from Dungeons and Dragons for its world-building, and combat. Enemies are incredibly deadly as are you, with rooms filled with traps you need to navigate, while carefully manoeuvring around your enemy’s attacks and exploiting their weakness.
Wizardry Variants Daphne is set in a world where every 100 years the Abyss opens, a curse that brings death to the land after an ancient Warlock wished death on the world. The seal on the Abyss is starting to weaken, and now it’s p to you to dive deep into the dungeon to end it.
Wizardy Variants Daphne takes place primarily in first-person, with you as a knight exploring the dungeon with other adventurers and party members. Each room of this dungeon is brimming with things ready to kill you, and it’s up to you to safely navigate your party, as every loss in your group could bring you closer and closer to your defeat.
