Considering that this particular Wizardry Spinoff Manga & Novel getting a collab with Wizardry Daphne within a month, might as well talk a little bit about it. Given Wizardry popularity in Japan, the series is kept alive quite well for more than 40 years beyond the shelflife of its original counterpart. One of the recent medium for this Classic JRPG series is a Light Novel called Blade & Bastard released in 2022 and this one is written by the Author of Goblin Slayer, Kumo Kagyu Sensei.
Blade & Bastard is a story of a Wizardry Dungeon adventure featuring a Male Samurai named Iarumas with mysterious past who got resurrected recently after ended up as a Corpse for a long time in the Dungeon. Accompanied by a young girl Fighter who simply called Garbage, Iarumas explore the Dungeon while retrieving Adventurers corpses as a part of recovering his Memories.
So far the Blade & Bastard Manga only have 10 Chapters and nothing much going at the moment. but since we have Goblin Slayer author at the helm of this work, we can expect a good Dark Fantasy series as the Author had quite an expertise on Old School RPG and the manga perfectly encapsulate the Sombre Dark Fantasy Atmosphere that Wizardry had.
I suppose Wizardry Daphne Dev picked this particular series as the first collab material because the close Resemblance of Iaruma Archetype with Daphne Main Protagonist who still have many secrets yet uncovered after being resurrected as Ghoul with plenty of Godlike ability and it would be a good timing to release Samurai Class in Daphne. If the collab is successful enough perhaps we could even get Goblin Slayer Collab which is a perfect fit for Wizardry Series apart from Dungeon Meshi.
