Wizardry turns 45 this month, and to mark the occasion, the Super Famicom version of Wizardry 6: Bane of the Cosmic Forge is getting a Steam port — 37 years after the game originally launched.
D4Enterprise is handling development, with Drecom publishing. No release window beyond 2027 has been announced.
Wizardry is one of the most influential RPG series ever made. Originally released in 1981 by North American studio Sir-Tech, it directly shaped Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Shin Megami Tensei, FromSoftware's Souls games, and Fire Emblem. While the series faded in the West, it found a second life in Japan, spawning over 40 Japan-only spin-offs across the decades.
Bringing the Super Famicom version of Wizardry 6 to Steam gives Western players a rare chance to experience a piece of that Japan-exclusive legacy. Whether the port includes any modernization features hasn't been confirmed yet.
